In Texas, 25% of excess deaths are attributed to COVID-19. Do you believe that “lockdown related” deaths could account for 75%? Don’t forget that lockdowns also reduce some types of deaths.

Even the number of excess deaths is likely an underestimate of the true Covid-19 death toll. It is well known that death rates decrease in recessions due to fewer traffic deaths, less air pollution, lower obesity, decreased smoking, etc.
