Where are these non-COVID excess deaths coming from? CDC data is updated on weekly basis. As more data comes in, the predicted data becomes closer to the reported data.

While total excess deaths (including COVID) are comparable between last winter and this winter. It is clear that something else is driving excess death this year among these states.

The data shown in the table is from November 2020 to February 6, 2021 (last winter) and November 2021 to February 6, 2022 (this winter). It was mistakenly written in the column heading as Dec 6 which will be February 6.

Vaccination did not reduce COVID deaths in Colorado. Rather a lot of non-COVID excess deaths in 2021 June onward are predicted (actual number may go up as more data comes in) in 2021 (Nov- Feb 6, 2022).

This one is from Idaho. I am looking at those states which may have virus-fav weather for a longer time of the year.

This is from Washington.

This is from Oregon.

Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are neighboring states. I assume Idaho is drier than the other two states. With a relatively lower vax rate, perhaps Idaho excess death excluding COVID is relatively lower.

% shows one dose vaccination on Dec 1, 2021.
