Time: The Difficulty Of Counting the COVID-19 Pandemic’s Full Death Toll
HCCI's research on daily deaths during the coronavirus pandemic was featured in a Time article.
From the article:
"City health officials reported about 200 at-home deaths per day during the height of the pandemic, compared with a daily average of 35 between 2013 and 2017. Again, experts believe that excess is presumably caused either directly or indirectly by the pandemic.
And nationally, a recent analysis of obituaries by the Health Care Cost Institute found that, for April, the number of deaths in the U.S. was running about 12% higher than the average from 2014 through 2019."
