I would like to know when or if this all shows up in ways people can see, I mean besides obituaries. I work retail liquor. We're told national wine sales are down 30 percent. "Post-Covid hangover" is the explanation -- i.e. people tired of drinking too much during lockdowns have quit drinking. Is it all cause mortality instead? When do we start seeing something else -- like many fewer cars on the roads or a lot of empty houses?

Locally, here in a small village in South Yorkshire I notice a small number, but with increasing frequency, of unoccupied homes for sale on my walks around the village. In former times this did not happen as frequently as it clearly does now.
