There isn’t much detail on the cause of those increased deaths. Worth noting from both articles is that insurance companies don’t pay out for suicide deaths, and there is mention of hospitals filled with other ailments instead of just COVID. So what’s left is the assumption that people of working age are dying from other causes that increase insurance payouts for the working age bracket. Could be worse health, more sedentary lifestyle, increased rate of cancers, heart disease, trauma caused by activities done to reduce boredom, car accidents, alcohol and drug abuse etc. If you have data sources on recent % of causes of death, that may shed more light on the underlying problem than speculation.
