We now have the first quarter numbers of notable deaths, as recorded by Wikipedia. These figures can be compared to deaths for the year 2021 and 2019.
First thing to note is that January 2022 had an unusually high death rate for those over 69 years of age. February had numbers in line with those of 2019, and March came out with an unusually high death rate among people younger than 70.
People younger than 70 accounted for 21% of notable deaths in 2019, against 19% in January 2022, 21% in February 2022 and 23% in March 2022.
The relatively high death rate among the elderly in January may be related to the booster, which was primarily taken by those over 70. My mother in law suffered a heart attack around this time, after taking the booster. Many others may have had similar trouble.
The relatively high death rates among younger people in March seems to be related to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Skimming through the list for March reveals an increase in deaths among Ukrainian politicians and other public figures, sufficiently so to alter the list's overall composition.
Note: I've noticed that Wikipedia adds older people later than younger people, making fresh numbers look worse than they end up being after a few days.
Here are the numbers:
January 2022:
- 20s = 8 = 0.81%
- 30s = 12 = 1.21%

- 60s = 104 = 10.48%
- 70s = 199 = 20.06%
- 80s = 342 = 34.48%
- 90s = 231 = 23.29%
- 100+ = 32 = 3.23%
Total = 992; Younger than 70 = 18.95%
February 2022:
