Excess mortality is calculated as the difference between the number of deaths that have occurred & the number that would be expected in the absence of the #COVID19 pandemic bit.ly/3yh0D06 #HealthData
Excess mortality includes:
1️⃣ deaths due to #COVID19 itself
2️⃣ deaths due to the pandemic’s impact – attributable to other health conditions for which people were unable to access prevention & treatment because health systems were overburdened by the pandemic
