Sadly, definitely picking up. I get obituary notifications from one of the local funeral homes. Many of the obituaries say “unexpectedly,” or “suddenly,” or “at home.” Just yesterday I was checking out the time of a funeral, I’m a church musician, and by the time I got home, three more obituaries had been added to the site. In addition, I’ve seen three ambulances drive by my house in the last 12 hours. That was just not a thing before 2022.

I have been ( my mother used to do this; I thought it creepy--now I do it) carefully reading the obits in a small-town Maine newspaper for the last two years. If the deceased is over 80, I breathe a sigh of relief. If under that, I suspect the jab. Last week one died in a one-person car crash.....

Normally, I would also be relieved if they’re over 80, but lately, notsomuch. Even those obits say suddenly, indicating that the deceased was probably pretty spry.
