We have our own thread here on FR with similar stories, along with dozens more that I have seen but they haven’t added their story yet:

Another thing that I’VE noticed (may not apply to your area), and, from my hometown, as well...
Obits, for July, were triple the normal number...for August...they were double.
The average age of deceased was down, for July (first time I’d checked, in a while, from years past) and down again, for August.
Majority of obits had NO cause of death, where in year’s past there was typically a mention of ... “after a courageous battle with....” or, “donations may be made to ....”.
VERY rare to even see that, now.
🤔
Again....it could just be my area(s).
