Will excess mortality for those aged 15-64 in the US remain less than 10% above pre-pandemic-based projections until the end of June, according to this graph?

Screenshot from Nov 26; the first dotted line above the solid line is 10%:

Resolution will be based on the last datapoint before the end of June, even if some of June is included in the following datapoint.

[Added: I will resolve this after Oct 1, because apparently it can take some time for this data to come in.]

It was actually over 10% shortly after this market began, but it takes a long time for data to come in: 11% on December 11th (can see using mouse-over on owid website)

I want to note "The reported number might not count all deaths that occurred due to incomplete coverage and delays in reporting" from the graph description; I've also seen some discussion that excess mortality data may not be very useful until a while later because it takes a while to get all the data in. I don't remember details and am not currently up for looking into this more but I want to flag that if this is true it might be a good idea to have the market resolve some number of months after the time period in question

predicted NO

@tcheasdfjkl Ah good points, ok I will wait to resolve it.
