So the graph shows heavy U07 "Emergency use of" codes, which are reserved for emergency allocation of codes. U07.0 is "Vaping-related disorder" for that epidemic, and U07.1 is COVID-19. U07.2 is for inconclusive, possible COVID-19 (not as widely used).
This data claims U07 is the second high cause for 2024-2026. That seems very high unless the code is being misused / applied for something else, or the data is wrong.
For comparison:
* US has no infectious disease causes of death in the top 10 for 2024.
* India's most recent data release is 2022-2024, and cardiovascular disease tops the list, with neoplasms (cancer), non-infectious respiratory disease, and digestive disease ahead of respiratory infection (all combined). It isn't presented by ICD-10 code exactly.
So that U07 as late as 2024 is unusual unless there's some other huge emergency the code is being used for that has escaped much attention, or it is also being used for war deaths perhaps.
Very off-topic, but we're on a tangent to the whole site anyways.
Afaik, India has very low BMI on average. Why the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases? Could also be that "tops the list" still means relatively small amount of cases relative to the... let's say developed world.
To put it in perspective, that's almost as many losses US sustained between WW2 and Vietnam combined.
But, to put it on a more relevant Russian scale: that's less losses than what the Soviet Union suffered in Stalingrad alone and barely more than those sustained in the battle of Rzhev.
In any case, Russians were going through a major demographic crisis, and this might be a catastrophic event that with current low birth rates may radically change the face of Russia in the very next decades.
China has an oversupply of men from a different kind of demographic mismanagement. Now Russia has an oversupply of women relative to the number of men. As they are allies (sortof?) this seems like 2 problems that make up a solution (Xenophobia aside). In short Russia may win the war (looking less likely) and still fail/weaken as a socio-cultural entity. China will expand westward and Russia will end up much weaker.

The range is 2020-2026 with peak during 2021-2022 and regions with high air pollution being overrepresented. It's a COVID-related long tail.

Well Northern India has the most polluted air in the world at the moment, or it did a few days ago at least, that probably doesn't help
I believe before the second invasion of Ukraine in 2022 the reporting of casualties of war was made illegal.
So they've prepared and have been trying hard to hide this catastrophic failure from which there probably won't be a recovery.
It wouldn't be shocking if different codes would be used to report casualties of war.
The disconcerting to see glimpses of the inner workings of a system where corruption is an institution.

What is russia today hosted about half of soviet population, even after all the forced relocations.
