All Cause Mortality

The most important number, in my view, actually over the epidemic as a whole is going to be all cause mortality. The correct and final way of making these comparisons will be when we have all the excess deat totals. It doesn't matter whether your death certificate says coved 19, or pneumonia or something else, that death will be part of the all cause mortality. And this is really important, because if we think that coverd 19 might be difficult to recognize in some sections of the population. This is another way to try and find out whether the death rate in your population is higher than it would expect to be at that time of the year.
