Prior to 2020 the annual deaths were very stable, typically varying by 1% or less year-to-year. Of course excess deaths jumped in 2020. But they were even higher in 2021. The one piece of good news is that excess in 2022 was less than 2021. If one averages 2021 + 2022, the annual excess deaths were running close to 21%.
*Maybe not that far off. In 2021, the biggest jumps were in the younger ages. My "investigation" was only for Florida, but I suspect the results would be pretty much the same for other state or the nation as a whole.
