You also have to take into account the rise in suicide, and those who died from not receiving regular care because of Covid measures. I know of several people who had to put off cancer treatment for months, which can become life or death. Not to mention all the “elective” surgeries that were postponed making some people’s minor problems , serious problems with the ongoing delays.
Also my mother almost died of corona virus, because she got a kidney infection with it and no doctor would run any tests on her or give her any medications or even allow her in the doctors office. She became septic with her kidney infection and we had to rush her to the one of the only 4 doctors in Texas who will see a Covid positive person and treat them as an actual human patient. I wonder how many others did not get so lucky

You’re not wrong by any means
Increases in alcoholism, suicide and drug abuse I’d imagine, and a decrease in say car wrecks
The numbers I gave are simply the net total of everything
