Excess alzheimers deaths during pandemic

Crushed

 

In 2020  

 In addition to the 345,323 deaths from COVID-19 itself, there were 133,382 deaths attributable to Alzheimer's disease in 2020, compared to 121,499 deaths from AD in 2019, and 122,019 in 2018. At 9.7 percent, this represents a far larger year-on-year increase than in the years between 2015 and 2019.

Researchers are still speculating on these  11,000 deaths.  Some are likely misidentified covid deaths, others may be due to social effects such as poor staffing  and isolation and related non covid infection outbreaks
