It's also worth noting that for younger people (age 25 - 44), COVID-19 has now become the leading cause of death.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/...20217174v1

That's not because a lot of them were dying of COVID, but rather because death in that age group is relatively rare.  The previous leading cause was opioid overdoses.

Quote:Results As of September 6, 2020, 74,027 all-cause deaths occurred among persons ages 25-44 years during the period from March 1st to July 31st, 2020, 14,155 more than during the same period of 2019, a 23% relative increase (incident rate ratio 1.23; 95% CI 1.21–1.24), with a peak of 30% occurring in May (IRR 1.30; 95% CI 1.27-1.33). In HHS Region 2 (New York, New Jersey), HHS Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas), and HHS Region 9 (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada), COVID-19 deaths exceeded 2018 unintentional opioid overdose deaths during at least one month. Combined, 2,450 COVID-19 deaths were recorded in these three regions during the pandemic period, compared to 2,445 opioid deaths during the same period of 2018.

Didn't want to start a new thread, and this isn't an exact match, but if you squint...

Mary Ann passed away from Covid complications. =(

RIP Dawn Wells.

Edit: Haha, I need to stop squinting. Didn't even notice the new thread here: https://thecardboard.org/board/showthread.php?tid=21303
