United Kingdom: economic inactivity due to long term sickness now amounts to approximately 1.5 percent of all 16-64 year olds, and is increasing at a rate of 0.45 percentage points per year. The rate of change is increasing.

Iso-Britannia: pitkäaikaisista sairauksista johtuva taloudellinen passiivisuus vastaa nyt noin 1.5 prosenttia kaikista 16-64-vuotiaista, ja kasvaa 0.45 prosenttiyksikön vuosivauhtia. Muutoksen vauhti on kiihtymässä.

In Finland, I don't believe @Tilastokeskus provides these kind of tables about economic inactivity. I would love to be wrong about this.

@Tilastokeskus @RapoMarkus En usko että Tilastokeskus julkaisee vastaavaa dataa taloudellisesta toimettomuudesta, joka johtuu pitkäaikaisesta sairaudesta. Olen kyllä mielelläni väärässä.

A pattern of delay in the reporting of chronic sickness may be at work. Sick people first leave the labour market, and only some time after that start reporting chronic sickness to ONS. That could mean that the true number is higher.

Taustalla saattaa olla viivettä kroonisen sairauden raportoinnissa. Sairaat ihmiset poistuvat ensin työmarkkinoilta, ja vasta jonkin ajan kuluttua alkavat raportoida kroonisesta sairaudestaan Tilastokeskukselle (ONS). Tämä voisi tarkoittaa, että todellinen lukumäärä on suurempi.

25-29 year olds: cancer and neoplasm related deaths in Sweden (C00-D48).
1/x Image
During 2020-2024, among 25-29 year olds, the share of cancers showing growth in 2023-2024 increased from a historical baseline of 22% of all cancers (1997-2019 average) to 61% in 2024.
2/x Image
This is the same chart in terms of absolute numbers. Among 25-29 year olds, the total number of cancer related deaths bottomed out in 2021.
For the causes showing growth (in red),
- 2020-2024 average is 2.2 times as high as the 1997-2019 baseline
- 2023-2024 average is 3.1 times as high as the 1997-2019 baseline

Cancer and neoplasm related deaths in Sweden (C00-D48).
1/x Image
Among 30-34 year olds, cancer and neoplasm related causes of death have been growing at an average rate of 32.5% per year since 2021 (equivalent to a 10-fold increase in 8.2 years if current growth continues).
2/x Image
Cancer related deaths accounted for 16.8% of all deaths among 30-34 year olds in 2024. If they continue to grow at the rate of 32.5%, they alone could be sufficient to double total mortality in this age group within 4 years, and increase it 10-fold within a further 8 years.

Finland's epidemic 22 Feb 2026: the amount of virus detected in wastewater is now 60% higher than during the first Omicron wave in 2022. The post-Omicron baseline appears permanently higher compared with the pre-Omicron period; repeated waves show no sign of diminishing.
1/x Image
Post-Omicron baseline is permanently higher than pre-Omicron:
- before late 2021, levels were mostly 10³–10⁴.
- from 2022 onward, even troughs sit around 10⁵, or 10-100x higher than before Omicron: a sign of constant background transmission
2/x Image
The first Omicron wave in January 2022 was the first major structural break.
- this wave was an order of magnitude jump compared to the pre-Omicron period (2020-2021)
- the first Omicron wave fundamentally shifted the baseline 10 to 100 times upward

This is one beautiful chart.

Between 1997 and 2019, mortality across age groups declined by up to 48 percent. Large amounts of additional life were delivered. Courtesy of the Swedish health system.

Between 2019 and 2024, the Swedish health system took a step back. It would appear that school aged children were sacrificed for the greater good.
2/x Image
As a result, the post-2019 years have seen increasing levels for disease-related mortality for the younger age groups. For 5-9 and 10-14 year olds, mortality is now 66% and 38% higher than in 2019, respectively. 2024 was the worst for both of these age groups.
