I agree with the 5G possibility but maybe COVID so called vaccines as well.
I follow the Minneapolis papers obituaries. It started in the early 2000's when my dad died and my mother was 1/2 blind and could not read. I looked in the Obits for her friends. As time went on I started seeing my friends too. Any way... I saw the 2 week average before and during the COVID so called pandemic, the 2 week average was usually about 360. I wish I had kept track written down. But, it stayed about the same until like 6 weeks ago as it jumped to 450 for the two week average. Yes, it varied during COVID too, like around major holidays it was less and after more, few funerals around holidays.
Last week it was 450 This week 461, looking now tonight 472, tomorrows might have more. But I count Wednesday.
If this keeps going, that is scary. 25% and growing compounded each year and yikes.
I feel it could be COVID vaccines or 5G or a combination or both. In late July, in my condo with 36 units 3 residents had COVID(so their Dr's said) and all 3 had the 2 shots and 2 or 3 boosters. 1 had a booster 1 week earlier and I saw his black and blue tennis ball sized mark on his are 2 days after booster 3. Nobody else had it, and this building has many who have not had boosters. I am going to keep track weekly, hope this is a blip, but it has hung around here for 6+ weeks now.
gfp, where do you live? It would be fun to see how you local obits fair weekly. Numbers here get skewed upward on weekends. They might count 3 Sundays in the 2 week average or such. I always use Wednesday or my number.
