I’m interesting the research going into “excess death” statistics, which I think will be the only “true” death rate from the pandemic[1].

> So how do we get this bigger picture? That’s where what researchers call “excess death” data come in. Simply put, excess deaths are the difference between the number of deaths that were expected to occur during a given time period and the number of deaths that actually occurred.

I suspect some deaths are being mis-attributed to C19 (for example that gunshot story). While other things are probably being undercounted.
