Post title corrected to reflect COVID19 being at least 20 fold flu mortality based on Sept 13 update mentioned at end of this updated post.
It's not over yet, and winter is coming.
This indicates there is about 9-fold more excess deaths at 2020 peak compared to 2018.
Update. Using CDC excess death estimates and US COVID-19 diagnosed death counts, reported at Our World in Data as cumulative totals, shows Coronavirus deaths are being under reported by a factor of 1.47-fold ( 47 percent underestimate.
See below for calculation by D Tribe.
Further 13 Sept Update. By September its much worse.
23 September 2020 Update. Not just aged-care residents killed (h/t Epsilon)

ReplyDeleteHow do you distinguish the deaths caused by COVID-19 against the deaths caused by the fear of COVID-19 and the delay or lack of health care for people with stroke, heart attack, terminal patients at home, etc.???

DeleteThose extra deaths include many that are caused by Coronavirus but not detected or diagnosed. We need more data to make distinctions
