Is someone claiming 40% of the people in that age range have died?  I find that hard to believe.  That's almost half the population.  In the entire US only 900,000 of all ages have died of Covid which is a tiny fraction.

No. It's a percentage increase. For instance, 40 people pre-pandemic, 56 since.

@Kachina624 , I think the OP's wording is incorrect.  I think what she meant to say is that the death rate of 18-64 year olds has risen 40%, not that it has risen "to" 40%.

It certainly helps to have better figures rather than a percentage that really means nothing.  

If 1000 people between the ages of 18-64 died in previous years, an increase of 40% would be 1400 have now died between the ages of 18-64.

Those figures come from all deaths including overdoses,

wrecks, and alcoholism  among other things.

I heard something similar on the news last nights news. Did your source list any "cause of deaths" in that expansive age group?

Dr. Robert Malone has written an article about the cause. 

@elated 

It's hard to find an article written by him. I know who he is and the why of this absence.

Look under Life Insurance Deaths Up 40% - Dr. Robert Malone. It is under desert review.

I heard on the news that Life Insurance companies are concerned about the rising death rate for the 18 to 64 year olds. The death rate has risen to 40%. This is very eye opening. IMHO, I think the covid lock downs hurt many people.

You do realize that ONE  of the reasons the death rate is up is because Covid has claimed so many lives of people who are unvaccinated. I found the report of that life insurance company, and that is the very reason that is given.  Also deaths have not risen 40%, the DEATH RATE. very different.

Here is what the president of the insurance company CEO Scott Davison said:  

Davison said death rates among working age people – those 18 to 64-years-old – are up 40 percent in the third and fourth quarter of 2021 over pre-pandemic levels.

"OneAmerica expects to pay out more than $100 million in short- and long-term disability claims due to the pandemic.

“Whether it’s long COVID or whether it’s because people haven’t been able to get the health care they need because the hospitals are overrun, we’re seeing those claims start to tick up as well,” he said.

Because of this, insurance companies are beginning to add premium increases on employers in counties with low vaccination rates to cover the benefit payouts. Davison  said once the omicron wave has subsided and the company returns to a hybrid schedule, it will require all employees to be vaccinated."

I heard something a few days ago on the news about the opiod death rates for younger people went up 40% but was not paying attention where that figure came from.
