I looked at the deadorkicking mortality numbers for 2021, which are preliminary. Deaths in the 85+ y.o. group are down 14% (about 150k), while working age deaths are up 17% (about 138k). Covid deaths are up 12%, while chronic lower respiratory disease deaths are down 12%. The CLRD deaths are in line with the decline of 85+ y.o. deaths…
I looked at the deadorkicking mortality numbers for 2021, which are preliminary. Deaths in the 85+ y.o. group are down 14% (about 150k), while working age deaths are up 17% (about 138k). Covid deaths are up 12%, while chronic lower respiratory disease deaths are down 12%. The CLRD deaths are in line with the decline of 85+ y.o. deaths, but, curiously, cardiac disease and cancer deaths are within historical ranges, not down like you would expect due to the decline in 85+ y.o. deaths; strokes are up about 4%.
The only thing I can figure is that the working age deaths must have substituted for the 85+ deaths in the heart disease, cancer, and stroke categories. So that is about 138 k working age excess mortality in the US. The figures are preliminary and are expected to rise.
