What a morbid enterprise sir. But necessary! Can we try to find the baseline historical risk or rate of death among these various age categories for the past 10-20 years? 11-18, 19-30 etc… there are deaths in these younger age groups but they are due to trauma and misadventure. If you enlisted a group of actuaries, statisticians and epidemiilogists and tracked this , this could be a great project for you to publish. Dr John Lott wrote a book called “more guns less crime”. Ive tried to contact him but he never answered . Maybe he would be interested

Hi Mark, Thanks for sharing these stories. There is definitely a pattern here and it boggles my mind that many don't see it. Here's a question that I continue to have that is likely related to these "died suddenly" events. I think the lack of employees to fill job openings must be related to these excess deaths. I see signs everywhere for businesses seeking to hire employees. I see restaurants that are closed due to "lack of staff". Before COVID, back in the Trump days, the unemployment rate was at a historic low. Now, there are lots of openings and no one to fill them. The government handouts ended months ago. If these people are still alive, how are they supporting themselves without a job? How would one determine where these former employees have gone? I think the MSM has been referring to it as the "great resignation". Perhaps it is really the "great die-off". Thoughts? https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/10/harvard-economist-sheds-light-on-great-resignation/

Thank you, Mark, for bearing testimony to this tragic loss of life. It's abominable, yet it continues unabated and unacknowledged by those who apparently care more for their careers and comfort than in exposing the truth and living with the consequences. May we one day have memorial services throughout the world, in person, to mourn these deaths.
