Here's one study I found - Unemployment increases changes of dying by 140% in the US, if I'm reading it correctly. -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man May 7, 08:40
I'm guessing we will see a further increase in "deaths of despair", but I don't know if anyone has calculated a specific correlation. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 7, 08:09 6

  - In my opinion, certainly. I'd consider excess deaths from any cause, beyond a statistically reasonable range above the historical trend, to be such. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 7, 08:29
  - I would in a "grand economic scale" calculation but not in a epidemiological one - Reagen May 7, 08:29 1
    - Yeah, I’m definitely approaching the question from a grand reckoning perspective, not an epidemiological one. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 09:14
