No, I didn't massage the numbers in any way, and I'm not calculating life insurance premiums or anything where I need to know someone's likelihood of dying with any confidence. I just looked at raw numbers to see if there was any significant increase of people under the age of 50 dying after 2019/2020 based on trends, and there was not. From that alone, I would hope Nich gets some relief.

My only objection to the Bloomberg article was the use of the non-obvious term "net negative excess deaths based on projection". It seems like a whole lot of assumption, so I looked at the thing everyone can understand: how many people died. If you want to take their conclusion and send someone a thank you card, then you can do that, but I was neither trying to thank or blame anyone for anything. I just wanted to know "did a lot of people die?".
