Nature: The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official counts
Countries have reported some five million COVID-19 deaths in two years, but global excess deaths are estimated at double or even quadruple that figure.
As Eλf Sternberg @elfsternberg noted
I am struck by this figure: "50 million people died of the Spanish Flu, with 675,000 dying in the United States." So let's get this straight: COVID has killed fewer people worldwide, but MORE Americans, at a time when both the national and global population are much higher.
I am similarly struck that China's life expectancy is now higher than the US's. We have truly abdicated developed nation status.
