But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18-64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And therein lies a story--a story that starts with obvious questions: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It isn't COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people.

Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life--in junior high? In high school? In college?
