Summary
Source: http://www.desdemitrinchera.com/2020/04/30/avance-territorial-de-la-pandemia/ Regional breakdown showing negative excess mortality in most areas of Ecuador during lockdown (Data for March 21 - April 23). In areas where Covid had not taken hold the lower deathrates are presumed to be due to factors such as fewer traffic accidents, violent crime etc

Lockdown deaths?
Some have argued that excess mortality seen in the pandemic may be largely attributable to a deleterious impact of the lockdown measures on the health of the population. Whilst differences in how statistics are compiled between countries complicate comparisons, this regional breakdown from Ecuador indicates that there has been negative excess mortality in most regions of Ecuador during the lockdown, less deaths than can be expected normally. With excess deaths mostly concentrated in Guayas. Indicating that other regions have not yet seen many infections. --Diagonal (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Excess mortality due to lockdown measures?

 * Deadlier than Covid? Medics sound alarm as lockdown suicides SOAR in US – and health officials knew it would happen - Helen Buyniski, RT, May 23, 2020

Contrary indications

 * Norwegian funeral homes turn to the state to avoid an early grave - Medical Xpress, July 15, 2020
 * Presumably thanks to the isolation of the elderly and social distancing measures mortality even seems to have declined. Norway for instance had six percent fewer deaths in May than a year earlier, and 13 percent fewer in June.
