Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

Ooof, that is a lot worse than I figured it would be even in the bad areas. I\u2019d have assumed things like deaths from old age would still be pretty big.

Well, looking at the pictures it’s still dominated by whitehairs, deaths borrowed forward, at 78 where in the “healthy timeline” they lived to 83. Won’t be a viral video about it, but in five years’ time for lack of those octogenarians each week’s obituaries will be slightly shorter
