It's often argued that in the absence of all-cause-mortality data to directly estimate excess deaths, we should rely on the officially reported covid-19 data. This is false, as we explain here

This will help prevent future outbreaks from evolving to an epidemic and then a pandemic.
Vital Registration is VITAL.
