Thanks Andrew.

Regarding your mention of utilising funeral data, I still manage the website for our local funeral operator. They are the only operator for a large swath of northern rural NSW so their data should be fairly accurate. I have had to extract ages from the funeral descriptions so I can output a Month/Year array by age since mid 2017. Following are the yearly totals;

2018 : 234

2019 : 279

2020 : 261

2021 : 260

2022 : 308

2023 : 316

2024 : 184 (to end of June)

So this year is shaping up to be even worse. When I sort by age bands, the signal is not so clear, the increase seem to be across all ages.

Great write-up, thank you. And yet Germany is stepping up its mRNA vaccine program: https://open.substack.com/pub/pandauncut/p/germany-creating-capacity-to-produce?r=20pd6j&utm_medium=ios
