These are interesting proxies for what’s really happening. Another indicator would be the number of published obituaries. Government statistics are now as reliable as in the days of Stalinist Russia.

I noticed our local, and my closest metro area, as well as my hometown obits were up, over last and previous years, by almost double.....a few months ago.
The next time I looked, it looked as though the average age had lowered.
(These would/could tie in with these shots being rolled out.)
Another oddity.....the majority of these obits no longer said things like....Bill died after a long, courageous battle with cancer.....or, donations can be made in Bill’s honor to the Heart/Parkinson’s/Kidney/Alzheiner’s foundation, etc. In most of the obits, there was no cause of death, although some did say.....died unexpectedly, or died after a brief illness.
Could be purely unrelated, though.
