> but there wasn't a pandemic at the same time.

There certainly was a pandemic, the 2009 H1N1 one. [1] In the last few months I've started to suspect that that was what killed my grandma in July 2010, she died very suddenly because of some respiratory issues (I live in Eastern Europe).

That is an interesting connection I will have to keep in mind. I don't think that would be an issue for the first link at least, which only looked at additional cancer deaths in the US and OECD due to the recession.
