We know — based on reports and estimates of excess deaths — that these figures underestimate the total impact of the pandemic on mortality globally.
India: Coronavirus Pandemic Country Profile
We provide data on excess deaths across the world here:. This page has a large number of charts on the pandemic. In the box below you can select any country you are interested in — or several, if you want to compare countries. All charts on this page will then show data for the countries that you selected. All three points are true for all currently available international data sources on COVID deaths:.
France: Coronavirus Pandemic Country Profile
Differences in the population size between countries are often large, and the COVID death count in more populous countries tends to be higher. Because of this it can be insightful to know how the number of confirmed deaths in a country compares to the number of people who live there, especially when comparing across countries. For instance, if 1, people died in Iceland, out of a population of about ,, that would have a far bigger impact than the same number dying in the United States, with its population of million.
The previous charts looked at the number of confirmed deaths per day — this chart shows the cumulative number of confirmed deaths since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. By pulling the ends of the blue time slider you can focus the chart on a particular period. If you bring them together to one point in time then the line chart becomes a bar chart — this of course only makes sense if you compare countries that is what the Edit countries and regions button is for.
For all global data sources on the pandemic, daily data does not necessarily refer to deaths on that day — but to the deaths reported on that day. Since reporting can vary significantly from day to day — irrespectively of any actual variation of deaths — it is helpful to look at changes from week to week. This provides a slightly clearer picture of where the pandemic is accelerating, slowing, or in fact reducing.
The maps shown here provide figures on weekly and biweekly deaths: one set shows the number of deaths per million people in the previous seven or fourteen days the weekly or biweekly cumulative total ; the other set shows the percentage change growth rate over these periods. The WHO has published updates on confirmed cases and deaths on its dashboard for all countries since 31 December From 31 December to 21 March , this data was sourced through official communications under the International Health Regulations IHR, , complemented by publications on official ministries of health websites and social media accounts.
Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)
The attribution of deaths to specific causes can be challenging under any circumstances. Health problems are often connected, and multiplicative, meaning an underlying condition can often lead to complications which ultimately result in death. Both provide very similar guidelines for medical practitioners on the completion of death certificates.
Although confirmed cases are reliant on a positive laboratory confirmation of the COVID test, a laboratory diagnosis may not be required for it to be listed as the cause of death. In the circumstances of there being no swab, it is satisfactory to apply clinical judgement. In some circumstances, depending on national guidelines, medical practitioners can record COVID deaths if they think the signs and symptoms point towards this as the underlying cause.
It was reported that the woman had typical COVID symptoms five days prior to suffering an ischemic stroke at home. Just as with confirmed cases, the number of deaths reported on a given day does not necessarily reflect the actual number of COVID deaths on that day, or in the previous 24 hours. This is due to lags and delays in reporting. The delay in reporting can be on the order of days and sometimes as long as a week or more.
This means the number of deaths reported on a given day is not reflective of the actual number of deaths that occurred on that day.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases
Limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death means that the number of confirmed deaths may not be an accurate count of the actual number of deaths from COVID In an ongoing outbreak the final outcomes — death or recovery — for all cases is not yet known. This needs to be kept in mind when comparing the current number of deaths with the current number of cases.
To understand the risks and respond appropriately we would also want to know the mortality risk of COVID — the likelihood that someone who is infected with the disease will die from it.
