Strange how excess deaths are high in all the diseases that covid is known to cause or can make worse. But also the pandemic is over? 
The biggest number of relative excess deaths occurred in young and middle aged adults amid higher than expected instances of cardiovascular, diabetes and acute respiratory diseases.
The CMI’s analysis showed that the largest relative excess deaths in 2022 were for young (20-44 years) and middle-aged (45-64 years) adults.
The OHID analysis considered how excess mortality has varied by age band and cause of death. It shows that for ages 50-64 deaths between June 2022 and June 2023 were 33% higher than expected for cardiovascular diseases, 35% higher than expected for diabetes, and 43% higher than expected for acute respiratory diseases.
Stuart McDonald, deputy chairman of the CMI, said: “We continue to see persistent excess mortality, particularly for the working age population, years after the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Just one more wave, bro, I promise bro.
One of the big questions that really rolls around in my head is like, wtf is gonna happen when the masses start really getting into double digit infections? Are people gonna make it that far? Are excess deaths gonna spike with a mass die off of non-covid related deaths? Is it gonna turn out there's groups of people out there completely immune to the endothelial damage? WTF is gonna happen to all these kids getting sick over and over again?

It's possible we won't see any notable change from the status quo until the next novel respiratory disease comes around and hits us way, WAY harder.
yeah totally possible, but i have a hard time imagining people are gonna be able to hit double digits without notable repercussions to their health. we're only just entering the 5th year now and people are already complaining about being endlessly sick. by the time we hit 2030 i doubt things are gonna be much better for them.
I hope people who say we will build up immunity are right, but we are already seeing a lot of negative consequences to repeat infections. Might be a mix of people who are fine, and people who get wrecked after a few more infections. Seems like a stupid gamble everyone is making to avoid the inconvenience of masks and air filters.

It's a nice thought but I don't think the wastewater data is indicating that's happening. If anything, the Temporary immunity from catching covid and the vast number of variants out there are making it so there's a greater and greater constant number of infections out there. And we're still seeing localized spikes regardless of all the "endemic" talk.
