The statistical anomalies of some age groups having reduced mortality while most others have excess mortality a couple of standard deviations from the mean is pretty interesting. My wild guess for the younger age groups is that it's due to less automobile travel during that time but people in their 60s is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps that's the age group most likely to get killed by medical error on medical procedures that are recommended for them but weren't really necessary. With the pandemic, those elective procedures were tabled, reducing the opportunity for medical error deaths?
