Some German publications suggest that due to the SARS-2 pandemic more people than usual deceased last year. The phenomenon is called extramortality or excess mortality. Such publications are from the Office of Statistics, which is a government body providing very many statistics and usually only reliable ones. Hence the publications on excess mortality reveal a real problem because the source for reliable statistics obviously forgot how to count.
If more people deceased because there is a pandemic, then more people should be hospitalized too. Witnesses reported that hospitals in Germany were almost empty last year. They were in fact so empty that almost two-hundred-and-thirty of them got closed and mustn’t expect to get reopened. This prepared the use of the percentage of occupied hospital beds as a justification if politics wants new lock-downs. Whatever new counteractive-measures are planned, they will again have nothing to do with medical reasons.
So there is enough reason for the presumption that not more people deceased. But the German Office of Statistics works very thoroughly. More people deceased last year when only counting the absolute numbers. If the number of the deceased people is divided by the number of the people born in their generation, then the result is a number, which is absolutely stable. With other words the numbers from Germany, which shall prove a pandemic, are actually proving that Germany’s population had grown in the past and consists now of many old people. But the numbers prove nothing besides this fact.
The German Office of Statistics had in the past during many years in a similar way “proven” that more women than men exist. Thus the Office of Statistics had forced me to explain to some guys why they didn’t find a girlfriend. The numbers from the Office of Statistics had really been understood in this way as if there would be more girls than boys. But in truth those official numbers did only prove that women live longer than men. Nothing else got proven by those numbers. The German Office of Statistics learned at least in this case and provides the numbers of women versus men divided in different age groups. So everybody, who checks the official numbers, sees that there are more boys than girls and the ratio reverses only for those, who reach a comparably high age. With other words: The German Office of Statistics is able to provide correct numbers, but simply doesn’t want to because it is a government body and hence supports the government propaganda.
