      Or to put the positive spin the deaths from other causes like accidents or medical issues are so low.

        That was actually my first thought as well. To my first assumption it implied it was in the direction of two extremes. Either all other causes are so low (compared to similar global trends) that this is a “good thing” and it can now be given extra/special attention, or other causes are around average (or higher) and this is a crisis of some kind.
