I've been compiling a list of celebrity deaths from ~2015 to present, which shows a big increase over the pre-covid average in 2022 and 2023. I'm waiting until January to do the actual year by year results, including at least one state (Kansas), if the data for Kansas is available then. I'm going to see if other states might have the data too. I used Kansas because they aren't blocking access to data like some states, and they don't have the "fluid" population like other states. What would be really nice is to compare the excess deaths as a percentage of the pre-covid death rate with the percentage of the state that was "vaccinated".

Thank you for compiling the stats!
