Study of 'excess deaths' finds there may be another 75,000 unconfirmed COVID-19 fatalities

Daily Mail  

The death toll in the US from the novel coronavirus is likely much higher than official figures suggest, a new study claims. For every 100 deaths directly attributed to COVID-19, there were another 36 excess deaths, meaning the count should be about 36 percent higher, the team, led by the University of Pennsylvania, found. A new study, led by the University of Pennsylvania, found that for every 100 deaths directly attributed to COVID-19, there were an additional 36 deaths This means the death toll of 209,000 could actually be undercounted by as much as 36% and stand around 284,000. Over the last eight months, the counties experienced nearly 250,000 excess deaths, 9.5 percent as a result of excess deaths directly assigned to COVID-19 and an additional 5.3 percent of those not directly assigned to the virus. What's more, for every 100 deaths directly attributed to the virus, there were n additional 36 deaths, suggesting the official death toll should be inflated by 36 percent.
