15. But the pixels in those graphics are hard to measure

Could you really say from that "25-44 was over 50% higher than normal at times"?

If you go to the CDC site, and select excess deaths by age, and exclude 65+ (so that the vertical scale is better suited to the lower groups - even exclude 45-64 so that it doesn't have to show above 4,000), you can see that better.
