I would expect deaths of despair to be slow-moving and not follow peaks of infection, as is with excess mortality:

It would actually be pretty unsurprising because this would be related to the measures, which should be related to infection levels.

I certainly don't think deaths of despair will be equally distributed between troughs of infections (when there's likely to be no lockdown) and peaks (severe lockdown).
