Here in Australia our interventions were longer and more sever that that of the US, our excess deaths are about 4 times less than youse over there.

Sorry for the slow response, I wanted to investigate the data before responding —

Here is a chart listing their cumulative mortality, from the OECD dataset. Measured as fractions of their current populations. This chart assumes all COVID deaths are excess (which undercounts real excess).

USA pop: 334,814,000

AUS pop: 26,479,000

Total excess is pink; COVID deaths (total) are orange; non-COVID attributable excess is blue.

A few points:

- COVID deaths are about 4x lower, but excess deaths around 3x

- there’s more non-COVID attributable excess than COVID deaths in AUS

- the USA has higher per capita expected mortality than AUS, as well; by about 1.5x

I’m not sure I’d count this to interventions, which when directly measured seem to provide lower benefits, versus the fact US healthcare is questionable and the US unhealthy in ways dangerous during COVID — as measured by expected mortality being higher.

Take a look at Sweden's cumulative excess deaths.

What’s your source on this? I haven’t heard anything like this.

On what?

I cited the OECD data; I downloaded it, added up COVID deaths, excess deaths, and subtracted COVID from excess to get “non-COVID attributed excess”.
