Excess Mortality: What Happens? Why do so many young people die?
The Euromomo.com site has taken the trouble to calculate the mortality in excess of the average in the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, at least for the first semester. The calculation was done using data from the EU27 to which Switzerland and the UK were added, and the results were interesting.
Now let's start with the cumulative data, for all countries. This is the weekly average over the 52 weeks:
The weekly average of mortality was higher than that of 2019 both in 2020 and in the first part of 2021. So the greater mortality is there and it is touched.
The cumulative effect shows the peaks of March 2020 and late 2020-early 2021 very clearly.
What happens by age group. We start the class up to 14 years with the youngest
In this case, the average in 2021 fell, in the second half of the year, even below the levels of previous years.
Now the class 15-44.
In this age group, the average weekly mortality was growing strongly both in the second half of 2020 and in 2021. A growth that should cause concern, because in a young and active class which, among other things, should not be particularly affected by Covid-19. Why all these deaths? What are the other conditions that have made the results explode.
If we move on to consider older classes we have the following results:
Let's see how the older classes see an effective progressive flattening of excess mortality from the end of 2021 to 2022. Unfortunately, the 15-44 class is the one that in 2022 sees a higher growth starting from the end of 2020 and in 2022. This is worrying and the causes of this evolution should be analyzed in depth: there are medical reasons, related to Covid or vaccines, or there are reasons related to psychological factors, such as suicide or drug addiction, or medical factors , but linked to other pathologies? The answer to this question would be essential.
