Many times people only go out of their way to plot things on a logarithmic scale to hide something or make something insignificant look different.
Notwithstanding that there are some statistical reasons to do so but in this case?
If you plot the data on a linear scale I think you see that old people normally die and younger people don’t.
If you look at the change of death rate something else shows up. I’ll leave it to you to make your own conclusions on that:
% change from 2019 to 2020
85+ 14.98%
75+ 15.99%
65+ 17.44%
55+ 17.62%
45+ 20.67%
35+ 24.90%
25+ 23.84%
15+ 20.80%
5+ 2.24%
1+ -2.58%
I wonder what the numbers will show for 2021 if they don’t manipulate them?
