As an anecdote, my grandmother was in a nursing home that went on lockdown. She was stuck in her room all day. Developed a blood clot in her leg from sitting constantly and that killed her. Pretty hard to attribute that to COVID but… I kind of do?
But since this is considering 'excess' deaths, wouldn't any there need to be an explanation for the temporal increase vs baseline for any non-COVID causes that would explain the excess?
