Correlation between COVID-19 and Non-COVID natural mortality rates.

Panel A. Scatterplot of COVID-19 mortality rates versus Non-COVID natural mortality rates in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, expressed as deaths per 100,000 persons, over April-December 2020, for groups defined by state*age(18–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75–79, 80–84, 85–89, 90–94, 95+)*gender*race/ethnicity, best-fit regression line, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Plot includes 168 bins (3 states*7 age groups*2 genders*4 race/ethnicities), best-fit regression line, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Panel B. Same for Early-Vaccine Period (1H-2021). Panel C. Same for Delta Period (2H-2021). Panel D. Plot for 1H-2022. Plot includes only Indiana and Wisconsin and has 112 bins (2 states *7 age groups*2 genders*4 race/ethnicities). Panel A. Pre-Vaccine Period (April-December 2020). Panel B. Early Vaccine Period (January-June 2021). Panel C. Delta Period (July-December 2021). Panel D. Omicron Period (January-June 2022).
