    A COVID rebound over the next few years makes sense, but it would also make sense for that to be a little offset by undetected conditions, mainly cancer.

      A COVID rebound over the next few years

      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.
