most of this makes sense but what's the deal with poisoning
edit: i mean specifically the sudden drops at 40 and 55 years old

@halcy That graph does not seem right. The # of motor vehicle accidental deaths seems unrealistically low. According to this, it's more like 38,000 in 2020?

@murph nb: x axis is "age", so total for the year (2020) would be area under curve
@halcy@icosahedron.website americans during the covid19 pandemic were advised by their president to inject themselves with bleach. and advised by the number 1 podcaster on multiple platforms to ingest dewormer intended for horses. and other. they were not using masks or vaccinating against the virus as their president publicly told them they were ineffective.
@Stellar I mean not the absolute number but the two drops around 40 and 55. like this stepped decline is weird to me
is this an outsized influence of a specific profession that stopped existing or such
@halcy partly mushrooms i guess
@conchoid yeah I guess maybe it is mostly overdoses
though the weird two step drop is confusing to me. like do you turn 40 and stop taking drugs? and if not you turn 55 and stop taking drugs?
or are there outside interventions that make a snapshot of the data look like that
@halcy ah the drop, don't know either
