COVID-19 is said to affect the elderly most severely, but as a percentage, the 25-44 age group has suffered the most excess deaths since the pandemic began in March, 2020.
[A visitor from Gato Malo] I did my own calculations using dowloaded data from my State (FL). It's easy to see that the age cohort 25-44 has the greatest excess mortality in both 2020 and 2021 (so at least it's not all the vaccine fault! 🤪) The jumps are not unique to those ages, for example (10-14) took a big jump in 2020, but not 2021.
The Florida data seem to show that by quite a margin, the biggest hike in excess deaths (average of 2020 and 2021) is in the 25-41 age group. To me, this seems quite counter-intuitive, as people tend to be their healthiest then (adults; children probably even better).
Submitted for your consideration, make of it what you may.
The linked Epoch Times article claims 20k excess overdose deaths in 2020 for the 18-64 age group. That converts to 8k for the smaller 25-44 age group and amounts to 16% of the CDC's 50k excess for 2020. Probably overdoses are part of the explanation, but don't account for the lion's share. For those overdose deaths, we also don't know if they increased because of more drug use or if the reason is less medical response.

My first suspicion goes to governments’ reaction to the virus.
Drug overdose because of lockdown related declining mental health?
