I was glancing thru the California Dept of Public Health website the other day and saw, for 2020, a chart showed all cause mortality over time. A big uptick in 2020 vs previous years.

So I went to see what they show for 2021 and 2022 to date. Maybe I missed something, but it looks like they have omitted the trend line and now, instead, show deaths by cause WITHIN the year, not over time. They show how each county did relative to the average CA county that year. (Made up example: in 2022, Kern County had a higher % dying of Alzheimer’s than the average CA county in 2022.) I could not find any charts showing the trend in all cause deaths in CA in 2021 and 2022. Please someone prove me wrong!
This kind of obfuscation is very prevalent nowadays. You should try looking at well established databases for miscarriages, stillbirths and neonatal deaths, whereas previously the data was available on a monthly basis you now have to look very hard for even quarterly data, and in Australia it is now delayed by over 3 months.
