A confused anti-vaxer/anti-public health cooker claimed that NZ has highest excess death rate in 100 years.This was quite a novel claim, and one I had never seen the maths done on, so I did the maths (using the same calculations as mortality) and in 2022 NZ had the highest excess death rate since 2019.

@thoughtfulnz@mastodon.nz Assumed it was a mix up between the rate and absolute number.This seems to support that idea.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/new-zealand-records-biggest-increase-in-registered-deaths-in-100-years/BQERSTKIANCKRNNA7IL42RD52U/

@gabriel It was a case of posting without reading the article (and assuming that a big jump from a very below average year to anabove average year meant that it was a very high year) but I was curious about what the result was so worked it out as I'd never seen it calculated.

@gabriel Christchurch Earthquake, and living in broken homes through the following winter which was also a bad flu year.
