Illinois 2020 death rates:

Likewise, the 13 per 100,000 IFR among the states population at large is a tiny rounding error compared to the state’s normal annual mortality rate of 870 per 100,000.

That’s right. In response to a death factor equal to just 1.5% of normal mortalities, the governor has essentially incarcerated the state’s economy and thrown away the key.

But this is surely the Demagoguery of Death gone haywire. After all, every year in the state of Illinois, there are more than 110,000 deaths with fatality rates per 100,000 as follows:

  • Heart disease: 203;

  • Cancer: 188;

  • Accidents: 47;

  • Strokes: 46;

  • Lower respiratory: 45;

  • Alzheimer: 32;

  • Diabetes: 23;

  • Kidney diseases: 21;

  • Influenza/pneumonia: 20;

  • COVID-19: 13
