2 dummies were looking at a tree. one could not see the end of his nose because of it while the other could not see the forest around it … also because of it! which one was the bigger numpty and why would that make any difference when we’re not talking about what’s actually going on now? 2016 and 2021 are not the same!!!! look at the data

the 2016 data is not a “trend” but is more reasonably seen as an outlier. by the same approach, the 2021 data would be an outlier too … except that the 2022 data is about to completely dwarf it! that’s the beginning of a trend … and from what i see in healthcare (i work on the front lines) … it’s about to turn into a hyperbole … as all cause mortality is skyrocketing in 2022 (definitely much worse than 2021). but, let’a wait and see the data before we continue this conversation.
what do you think of this Sebastian:

They're not, no - according the data presented in the article, 2021 was lower than 2016. What data are you referring to?
But regardless we can see it was a preexisting phenomenon that appeared to be accelerating, and the question is why?
Hi Sebastian,
i see you took my
comment seriously. i’m sorry i wasn’t more clear.

It's not an 'outlier', because it continued. The peak was in 2019. Have you actually read the article?
In the UK, all cause mortality, as far as I can see, is not 'skyrocketing', and is still below 2020 (which was the highest).
