so that worked out to $2400 for the year.

In March, my bill went up to $250/month. I don't want to pay that much so I cancel a line as it is outside my budget.. They charge me a termination fee of $200 in April. Starting in April my bill is now $180/month.

So my bills looked like this...

January - $200
February - $200
March - $250
April - $380
May to December $180/month

Using the CDC definition of "excess", that would be $230 excess as I have to zero out all the months I paid less. In reality over the course of the year the excess was $70.

                              You should keep getting fired up about it - Sal MU - 12/16 16:03:50
                              you can't take weekly data and extrapolate it over 10 months - tigerinhogtown STL - 12/16 15:42:05

                                             Relax, basic math is hard for some people (nm) - BigDave MU - 12/16 16:39:49
                                        is it your claim that if they took the ave of total deaths - tigerinhogtown STL - 12/16 15:47:14
          By treating those weeks as zero, they are statistically - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:24:28
               Each of you is showing your ignorance of research design - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:27:00
          Where do you think they get excessive death numbers from? - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 15:23:23
               Yes you can.... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:25:53
                    You explained it well here - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:32:25
                         This is literally what they say, though... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:35:23
                              That is what TigerMatt is arguing (nm) - Sal MU - 12/16 15:40:35
                                   No it's not. - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:46:12
                                        Yes, he specifically addressed the footnote - Sal MU - 12/16 15:54:53
                                             Yeah.. excess deaths gets to ignore any non zero numbers - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 16:00:08
                              In the footnotes - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:40:13
                                   oy... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:45:30
          That would not give an accurate count - Sal MU - 12/16 15:21:16
               Yes it would. It would not give an accurate count of TOTAL - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:23:07
                    Excess deaths are directly tied to observed deaths. - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 15:34:12
                         Wrong again. - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:38:08
