@nornirongooner @LMShe4 @kanderson8ball @allianceparty @PMcReynoldsMLA @EricHanvey2 @MartinGreggBT16 It isn't evidence of increased deaths. You can't establish that from comparison with the 5 year average: you'd need to plot deaths for each of the last 10 years and compare them statistically to judge if the deviation was significant or within normal limits.
