I feel like I'm missing something, but I cannot figure out why excess deaths would fall to 61% of expected two weeks ago and then 16% this week. The haven't been below 95% since February. Did people quit dying? It looks like they are just not there.

1. Gosh. Ya think?

The CDC that is suddenly telling meat packing plants that they don't really have to do anything to mitigate COVID outbreaks if they don't feel like it?
