Field 1 – four,400 extra deaths than anticipated from January 2020 to December 2021 because of the well being disaster
To measure the results of the well being disaster on deaths, we are able to assume that within the absence of an epidemic, mortality would have developed following the development of the current interval: improve in deaths with the arrival of huge generations because of ages of excessive mortality, hampered nevertheless by the achieve in life expectancy obtained due to the development of residing circumstances and medical progress.
Beneath this assumption, in 2020 and 2021, respectively 30,400 and 30,500 inhabitants of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté would have died. Compared with the 33,700 deaths noticed in 2020 and 31,600 in 2021, the surplus mortality attributed to the well being disaster might be three,300 in 2020 and 1,100 in 2021, i.e. a complete of four,400 over the 2 years.
