So let's think about it for a bit.

What we'd like to do is to specify a model that would incorporate as many potential causes/explanations for the number of excess deaths as possible.

What sorts of things/events could we include?

Natural disasters?

Famines?

unrelated healthcare system collapses (we know many health systems collapsed - due to the covid crush) but might there be non-covid related instances?

Outbreaks of other diseases? Which ones?

Covid aside, what about 2020 was special? What would make so many more people die of cardio-pulmonary (or other) diseases than would normally be expected?

What do you guys think?
