Original Note:
There were 124,000 excess deaths in 0-44 year olds compared to previous years. The claim in the proposed note that "most are COVID-19 infection-related" is not supported by the CDC or the sources included in the note. The "jury" is still out. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-excess-deaths-covid-died-suddenly-793316776380
