There are more auto accident deaths in the Summer? Like every year since forever ago?
I’m not in P&C Auto, so, TIL.
(Well, except that Oct 2021.)
road trip vacations. more idle time for younguns to get out and do stupid shit. ice on roads, while dangerous, is a dampener on voluntary trips in general.

Pretty much what I suspected. Glad an expert confirmed my suspicions.
A lot of “external causes” have a seasonality where it peaks in summer… and have a lot of variation through the year compared to physiological causes.
The metric I used was (max - min)/average to measure variability, and it was about 20 - 30% for the non-pandemic years, and about 40% for 2020.
There was a CDC WONDER update, so I’ll be updating a bunch of stuff for 2022 soon (because I finally have the December info for cause of death for external causes of death)
in the meantime, update on drug ODs:

Yes, John Jensenius originally made that page.
We are supposed to assume that blue is male and pink is female??
The second graph, by month, seems a bit faulty, since one would only want to know what the probability of getting hit by lightning is, assuming a lightning storm. Obviously more lightning storms in summer months in the USA, so obvious that more deaths by lightning will occur in those months. What is needed is a denominator. “Storm-hours per 100 acres” or something like that.
the result being that men of all ages take stupid level of risk with lightening?
mostly golfers, from what I heard in Florida
