Many aren't going to doctor visits, aren't exercising, are eating more etc etc. It all adds up.

I guess Covid is like a really, really bad flu season showing up, in addition to the existing one. So when all is done. we'll really see. Flu does kill a lot of old and infirm people

I can imagine some of the effects of all this to show up much later

For example school children are losing months of school education, and they aren't going to get it back.

Studies in developing countries have shown every extra month to significantly improve children's final IQ and lifetime earnings.

If you look at the cumulative distribution, around week 11 is where things started and the peak is at week 14, during week 16 the slope is already less steep.

I think it would be quite remarkable if people managed to die from 5 weeks of eating at home without exercise.
