    Yeah, that looks more reasonable. The original graph makes it look like there have been ~5x the number of deaths in the last few years compared to ~10 years ago. Adjusted for population growth, it’s ~2-3x.

    That’s still really concerning and makes the point the article was making, while being much more accurate and defensible when scrutinized. Thanks for that!
