Buried Lede: Lowered Child Mortality

Lockdowns save lives: children, exposed to less school, die way less often.
([Vaccine] yeah sure everyone already knows and knew all along.)

There were still Zoom classes or whatever, so it didn't actually zero out the fatalities. School is responsible for substantially more than 6% of all annual child deaths. 

In new, shocking findings, torture is bad for you, as it turns out.
You might think that parents, who see the effects of sending their kids to school first hand, would know this even better than I do.
I would certainly thinks o.

You can confirm using this same data set: the 15-29 bracket has excess school-related mortality, but of course school ends at 18 or so, so there's a lot of school-non-exposure, meaning these screwed up categories buffer the true rates.

At first I thought the 50-59 blip was noise, but I realized it's probably lockdowns again. Realistically 50-59 is when folk retire. Everyone tries to get out before 65. The lockdowns, though, would kill your business just as you needed to finish your career. You don't have time to recover before you'll just be too damn old.* Result: stress-related heart attacks.

Turns out losing your livelihood at the finishing stretch is less bad than, you know, school.
