Neurodegeneration of PASC results in a plethora of AD, PD, Dementias, Parkinsonism, who knows yet how many PRION DISEASES will be discovered as a consequence (already CJD \\fatal).
Combine the hazards you defined so eloquently, with consequences of ppm in air water food damages from corporate pollution personal carelessness and lack of information
Most definitely. In the next 25 years, it’s expected that the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s will double as the disease continues to grow in prevalence and as life expectancies increase.
One possible cause is reporting - Washington seems to be one of the best states at properly diagnosing Alzheimer's as a cause of death, while other states may otherwise just give a general testament of 'dementia'. Check out this from PBS
Washington has a more rigorous method of collecting and verifying death data than some other states. States’ totals for all deaths from dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s, suggests that many might not be reporting the disease as carefully as Washington.
Differences between the states in recognizing and coding the cause of death can muddy the picture, said Francis Boscoe, a research scientist at the New York State Cancer Registry who used differing death rates by state as a “conversation starter” about state-specific mortality issues.
“It seems entirely plausible that physicians or coroners in Washington could be coding as Alzheimer’s what other states might call pneumonia or something else,” Boscoe said. “There are explicit rules for all this, but that does not mean they are all being followed the same way.”

The number will double while the help needed to care for patients is actually decreasing. That’s a scary combination we are about to witness
Absolutely. The Path Forward solutions are meant to address some of that. We need to actually implement them though.
Yup
so...NOT duh
Hi Jeremy, do you have any insight on why Washington State also has such a high death rate, even though the incidence rate is on the low end?
Great post, by the way!

Thanks for this great info!
