And so it begins. The CDC stopped publishing excess Covid deaths at the same time we learned 34% more working adults ages 35-44 years old died than expected in the last quarter of 2022, with above-average rates in other working-age groups.

1/The CDC stopped publishing its COVID / Excess deaths reports last week. I'm preparing a replacement now and thought a quick primer on excess deaths would be welcome * What are "excess deaths?" * Why do we care about excess deaths? * How do you calculate excess deaths?
