The insurance CEO said a 10% increase in all cause mortality is a 3 standard deviation change, a once in 200 years event, so the 40% increase he saw in the working age population they cover (working therefore reasonably healthy 18-64 year olds) was off the charts. The -20% in Feb 2021 is interesting too, and later 2021 looks like 10% or above for just about every country. I'm assuming the most recent numbers are not accurate because it's too recent to have all the data. I wonder what the charts look like for the least vaccinated countries.
