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. The large excess is unexplained. While higher mortality for 25-44 year-olds coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, 2020, it has not been dominated by seasonal waves like infection counts and mortality for the elderly. This non-seasonal pattern indicates non-COVID causes.
[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).

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