This reconstruction of the long-term trends illustrates how stunning, and worrisome the short-term increase in premature mortality in the US is. Great paper: "Missing Americans: Early death in the United States—1933–2021" doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…

Both the number and share of these “excess deaths” have increased during the pandemic, but nearly as much from the expansion of pre-pandemic differences in middle-age mortality as from differences in COVID-19 mortality itself

Out today in PLOS ONE: in 2021, one in 4 deaths in the US—nearly 900,000 deaths—would have been prevented with the average death rates of 5 largest W Euro countries: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@ikashnitsky Not a forecast, but couldn't it be seen as a projection (under very specific and highly unlikely assumptions)?

@AntonioLeonMex Right, should have added a legend, to illustrate mortality shocks, this is life expectancy at birth in Cambodia as estimated by the UN Population Division

Bottom line, I’m interpreting it as an age-standardized measure of premature mortality, but this is really an-ongoing reflection: would love to hear back from #poptwitter & #demogtwitter (or whatever’s left thereof now)
Demographic Research@DemographicRes

Demographers’ intuition for life expectancy values (LEV) derives from a constant mortality thought-experiment. How do we interpret changes in LEV during temporary mortality shocks then? See Patrick Heuveline’s reflections here 👉demographic-research.org/volumes/vol48/…

@MazzucoStefano Missed it at the time, but really interesting paper. In your useful framework, I took the relative approach with the normal <- earlier (pre-shock) survival curve. This normal is indeed harder to define when survival is gradually improving rather than suddenly declining

@PatrickHvl This interesting. I'm trying to measure the pandemic effect on premature mortality. It might be worth to correlate changes in LE with changes of other measures of premature mortality
