What do you mean by this? Is this a case of “more people at risk of xyz died of COVID-19, so those who are still alive are at lower risk of xyz than the previous average”?
Basically COVID took a lot of vulnerable people who otherwise would have died of other “normal” causes over the next few years, so fewer of those vulnerable people are around now and it will take a few years to catch up back to what it was.
