The CDC report gives a much better view of these findings [0]. I would really suggest reading the report. It is not jargony and takes maybe 15 minutes to zip through. They really put a lot of time into making it accessible and it shows. In reading that report some things that I noticed are [1]: Pg. 8: Alzheimer's Disease caused deaths for both males and females increased a fair bit! And for males, Unintentional Deaths also increased recently. Note that the Y-axis is in a LOG scale; any movement upwards is a lot. Pg. 10: Yeah, Juul and the like really are hurting children. Grades 2 & 3 Obesity are increasing too. Both are not good. Pg. 11: Asthma in black children has gone up a fair amount. Pg. 14: West Coast and Virginian essential vaccination is under 2/3 babies (3 years or younger). That is WELL below herd immunity. New England, Deep South, and Plains states are above 3/4. Pg. 21: Ages 15-44 have seen an uptick in mortality. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale, so it's been a fair bit of an uptick. Pg. 22: A big uptick in infant mortality due to unintentional injuries. Pg. 23: ... Jesus ... a huge increase in child suicide rates and an increase in teen homicide and suicide rates. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale. Pg. 24: HIV deaths are WAY down (!), unintentional injuries and liver cirrhosis are up. Pg. 25: Alzheimer's deaths in the elderly are up a fair amount. pg. 26: Holy shit ... overdose rates are just ... wow ... pg. 27: Appalachia and New England ... good Lord ... I mean, you hear things about it all, but wow. pg. 29: Cirrhosis deaths in middle aged men are really climbing. The booze, it ain't good. BTW here's the scihub link for the JAMA article that the NYT is talking about: https://scihub.bban.top/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2756187 https://scihub.bban.top/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... [0] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/index.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/index.htm [1] this is mostly a summary that I posted here 38 days ago when the report first dropped. Seriously, just read the CDC report!
