1/ Average age of death follow up.

Problem: the chosen window of averaging is a strong factor when aggregating. Aggregations are generally bad as mentioned many times. They destroy information.

So let's go back to raw data.

2/ Let's show it like this.

We spot immediately the 2020 85 years peak in Spain.

Amazing. 85 years.

There are worse problems in the world, that having an average death age of 85.

Percieving this as a catastrophy is totally pathetic.

3/ So let's explain even better with a question.

Is it:

A) better to have unavoidable swings (excess) like Italy, Spain, and Sweden at world record life expectancy levels?

OR

B) better to be Denmark at years lower life expectancy but without swings (because excess is scary)?

4/ "Covid was the worst disaster since 100 years" ?

Look below.

...Now think....

...Now wake up...

The hypnosis is over.

If you don't wake up: those curves will really start going down. Do you want that?

5/ Sorry for some heading label typos.

It should write:
"Average death age by week"

I should write a clean version on substack.
