Last two posts have been great, thanks for pulling all this data together. I really hate the layout of Wonder so getting the data pre-pulled into XLS is great, thanks!

Are you interested in running some excess death breakdowns by age group and considering (where possible) what % they are attributed to cause? Would make an interesting post.

Now that the CDC has given me a complete year's worth for 2021 now, I'm going to look at the "Millennial Massacre" again and see if I can do this for them and then march up to older ages (because we middle-aged Gen Xers got it worse, actually... not just the drug ODs, but also natural causes really start biting, as well as COVID.)

So look for that this coming week.
