Infectious disease peeps, any explanation for the dramatic drop in the death rate in 1919, the year after the flu pandemic? Is it something that we can expect to see with covid?https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/23/us/covid-19-death-toll.html …

Last I read, covid was taking ~11 years of life per death on average, typically from the elderly and those with underlying conditions. I think there will probably be a rebound in population-wide all-cause mortality afterward, but we'll see.

Well, there's also a backdrop of US mortality declines stalling anyway, so it's a complex thing to untangle I think.
