We're releasing mortality data for 24 countries to give researchers and the public a clearer picture of how many people have died during the coronavirus pandemic. nyti.ms/2Tiu1gY
Most official Covid-19 death counts exclude many people who were never tested or died at home. Data that includes all causes of death offers a more complete picture of the outbreak’s toll. nyti.ms/36q7rsl
Times journalists around the world collaborated to compile this data from health departments and other official sources.

It has led us to stories about the virus's impact in Russia, Sweden, Turkey and Latin America.

Mortality data during a pandemic is not perfect, and the final tally will take demographers years to understand. But this data offers a better way to understand where the outbreak has hit hardest. nyti.ms/2LH8r1v

This article is published in partnership with @baltimoresun, @LAist and @thesouthern.

More than 60% of nursing homes where at least a quarter of the residents are black or Latino have reported at least one coronavirus case, a New York Times analysis shows. That is double the rate of homes where black and Latino people make up less than 5% of the population. Image

In New York City, many of the refrigerated trucks filled with bodies are gone. Doctors are no longer routinely pleading for help in makeshift PPE. But there are major challenges ahead for the health system: "None of us are at peace." nyti.ms/3cTnTDG
As the city looks to ease out of its near lockdown, hospital executives and doctors don't know whether this is simply a lull before a new wave of cases, or a shift to a less chaotic period. They're preparing for both possibilities. nyti.ms/3cTnTDG
The ER at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, where Dr. Colleen Smith recorded a widely shared video showing disastrous conditions at the height of the crisis, is now treating barely a third of the people it did before the outbreak. nyti.ms/2WL7fjU
