Mmmm. I wonder if the cardiovascular deaths uptick (if real; I can't be arsed to check) might be related to the impact of a worldwide pandemic involving a virus with significant impact on the vascular system of anyone infected.From what I have seen these rates are repeated throughout the world.
The deaths are principally cardiovascular, particularly myocardial related. Lung disease also but not cancer. Obesity continues to increase worldwide but these excess death figures are repeated in countries where obesity is comparatively low.
The only thing that universal and worldwide that could be causal here is the V word, but nobody is allowed to mention that.
