As the United States careens closer to an official tally of 1 million lives lost to Covid-19, the World Health Organization this morning provided Deadline and other outlets with a detailed estimate…
from The Lancet of excess mortality worldwide due to Covid-19 over the course of 2020 and 2021 pegged the full death toll at more than 18 million. Meanwhile, the more commonly-cited direct calculation of Covid deaths we hear on the nightly news is
6 million. That means between 9 and 12 million deaths worldwide routinely go unrecognized in most reported tallies.Excess mortality includes deaths associated with Covid-19 directly or indirectly . Deaths linked indirectly to COVID-19 are attributable to other health conditions for which people were unable to access prevention and treatment because health systems were overburdened by the pandemic.
South-East Asia, Europe and the Americas account for 84% of the excess deaths. Some 68% of all lives determined lost to the pandemic are concentrated in just 10 countries. Middle-income countries account for fully 81% of the 14.9 million excess deaths. High-income and low-income countries account for just 15% and 4% of the total, respectively.
