  1. Ignore the headline. This is a good article about Covid’s ongoing impacts: “The greatest numbers of excess deaths in the acute phase of the pandemic were in older adults. …The pattern now is one of persisting excess deaths, which are most prominent in relative terms in middle-aged and younger adults.” #CovidIsNotOver #maskup #ExcessDeaths #morbidity #mortality #opioids bloomberg.com/news/newsletters

  6. This is bigger than COVID: Why are so many Americans dying early?

    People are dying in abnormally high numbers even now and long since COVID waned. Yet public health agencies and medical societies are silent.

  7. Great to see @ActuaryByDay here. His latest post shows excess deaths for the UK over the last 9 months. Looking pretty horrendous at the moment. As he says, "chronic factors like NHS pressure are there throughout, contributing to continuous excess for 9 months". #excessDeaths #mortalityStatistics #actuary

  8. The importance of wild pollination. Think first about bees, but also other insects, birds and bats. Study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

    Pollination loss removes healthy foods from global diets, increases chronic diseases causing excess deaths

    Summary:
    Inadequate pollination has led to a 3-5% loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers, according to new research. It is the first study to quantify the human health toll of insufficient wild (animal) pollinators on human health.

    Let us hope the Global Biodiversity Framework Target 7 which sets a halving of pesticide use by 2030, is acted upon to reduce decline in wild pollinators.
