This already happened in Belgium. When you look at the mortality rate per age group at https://statbel.fgov.be/en/about-statbel/what-we-do/visualisations/mortality https://statbel.fgov.be/en/about-statbel/what-we-do/visualis... , with age 85+, you can see the big spike in 2020, and in 2021 a big decrease compared to the 4 previous years.
Less so with age group 75-84, but still visible.
- gilbetron 5y agoWhile I wouldn't be surprised if such a thing does happen, I don't know if that we can say it happened yet, as I don't know how recent the 2021 death statistics are for Belgium. Usually it takes weeks or even months for mortality figures to be correct for a year, so that graph could just be showing that they don't have the full mortality results for 2021.
