That was my gut reaction too, minus the overconfident snark. Later the article claims that cancer deaths are also up 28% so it seems unlikely that this is the full story.

- jncfhnb 3y agoSeems unlikely to my layman perspective. Tumors aren’t hard to identify in an autopsy. Do we really think we have gotten so much better at detecting cancers proactively that led to death that would not have been discovered after it killed them?
- glandium 3y agoDo you think all deaths are autopsied? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/autopsy-rate https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/autopsy-rate
- jncfhnb 3y agoNo, but I don’t think that you can get 30% more deaths from young people from a failure to measure cause of death. You can caveat that to western society if you want.
