“When I looked at that headline, I was disappointed because it's factually inaccurate.” A doctor’s column in the Washington Post claims Covid deaths are being overcounted — and @jeremyfaust tells @mehdirhasan it’s literally the wrong message: “We're still undercounting.”

I plotted excess deaths (natural cause - 2019) for over two years because I didn’t trust the numbers, and they mostly match up week after week with Covid deaths in the North and Midwest. Excess deaths are above Covid in the South and West.

This is the most convenient explanation for excess deaths. It was mostly covid. Deaths aren't overcounted. Covid did this. See how it lines up? Our actions didn't kill people. Put a bowtie on it, lock it away in your mind. Never bring it out again. Except it's a convenient lie.
