Excerpt:
The pandemic led to the biggest U.S. death rate increase from causes other than COVID-19 since 1936.
The death rate in the highest-income counties increased to 736.1 deaths per 100,000 people, from 638.4 per 100,000 in 2019
For people ages 5 through 44, increases in the death rate from causes other than COVID-19 were much bigger than the increase caused directly by COVID-19.
