If you're interested in this perspective, EUROMOMO[0] is worth keeping an eye on. It's the all-cause mortality monitoring data that Europe has collected on a per-country and per-age-group basis for a decade or so, for the purpose of early detection of increased mortality due to e.g. a bad flu season. There is some time lag in the data (probably more than usual right now in Italy/Spain) but increased mortality should show up within a few weeks there.

- notechback 7y agoReally interesting. It currently shows week 12, so the second half of march. It looks like there is overall a lower number, especially for 0-4 year olds. Staying home saves lives beyond covid...?
- _-___________-_ 7y agoStaying home means fewer traffic accidents, and closing businesses means fewer workplace accidents (admittedly not relevant for the 0-4 age group) and maybe lower pollution. So it definitely seems possible that all-cause mortality for some age groups would reduce.
