During the COVID-19 pandemic, working-age Americans were dying of non-COVID-19 causes at a rate about 25 percent above what would have been expected based on previous trends, a recent research paper shows.
About 108,000 Americans aged 18–64 died of causes other than COVID-19 in excess of expected trends during the pandemic, according to the Dec. 15 paper published in Inquiry: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing.
