What is not apparent, apparently, is that your post had not been posted when I began writing mine.
I would really like to see the numbers that back up that explanation. I can absolutely believe that delaying treatment led to some additional deaths - no question. Certainly, with additional drinking there was an increase in liver disease and mental health issues likely led to some increase in deaths; delayed treatment undoubtedly resulted in some increase as well. But I do not believe delayed treatment led to a 17%+ increase starting in April of 2020 with peaks again in 2021 and 2022.
