"Uncovering the True Toll: COVID-19's Hidden Impact on Excess Deaths Revealed"
TL;DR
A study from Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania reveals that a significant portion of excess deaths attributed to natural causes during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US were actually linked to the virus. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that non-COVID-19 excess deaths peaked around the same time as COVID-19 deaths, indicating potential underreporting. The study also identified regional variations in excess natural-cause deaths, with nonmetropolitan and certain geographic areas reporting higher rates.
