The recorded death count from the Covid-19 pandemic as of Thursday is nearing 2 million. The true extent is far worse.
More than 2.8 million people have lost their lives due to the pandemic, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from 59 countries and jurisdictions. This tally offers the most comprehensive view yet of the pandemic’s global impact. Deaths in these places last year surged more than 12% above average levels.
Less than two-thirds of that surge has been attributed directly to Covid-19. Public-health experts believe that many, if not most, of the additional deaths were directly linked to the disease, particularly early in the pandemic when testing was sparse. Some of those, from health-care disruptions, people avoiding the hospital and other issues.
To better understand the pandemic’s global toll, the Journal compiled the most recent available data on deaths from all causes from countries with available records. These countries together account for roughly one-quarter of the world’s population but about three-quarters of all reported deaths from Covid-19 through late last year.
The tally found more than 821,000 additional deaths that aren’t accounted for in governments’ official Covid-19 death counts.
And people still make fun of others for properly wearing masks. This is just sad
It’s because people are not let to congregate and talk about solutions and what works. Then sunlight kill the virus and if you go out and walk around you don’t get pneumonia.
This “excess death” thing is insulting
Wow some of the people replying to this a) didn't read it b) suffer from paranoia. This is excess deaths. As in given year over year trends, how many extra people died. This isn't rocket science. 300k extra people just didn't die in 2020 because of 'natural causes', it was covid.
jjauthor The flu is nonexistent because people are wearing their masks and social distancing. Covid is spreading because people aren’t wearing their masks and social distancing.
jjauthor Give it a couple weeks. Biden will save us all and the WHO will change how Covid is tracked. 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
This is a flawed graph. Influenza caused closer to 24k deaths last year. And where is old age on this graph? I am willing to bet 50% of these deaths are actually “old age”. When my mother passed away at 90, her doctor said he didn’t need to see her body. He knew why she died.
so everything weve been doing since last year is for not. raw jah dat
🤧🤧🤧 what happened to the common flu Hmmmmmm
All, pls get better masks & ventilate. And spread the word. 1. KF94 2. Crack 🪟 3. Prop 🚪 (if own a shop) 4. Merv13/Hepa 5. 40-60% humidity 6. CO2 sensors Sources in my timeline
😔
Big picture
Is anyone surprised by this? I mean we had a leader in America who cared more about money he could get than people he could wave. He never helped with the pandemic and for that we got a new President. A better one.
We need to cancel the
You mean its Not in 1st place
Did we stop all of society for the other 2?
andrwfhenderson Hey WSJ, way to go on supporting Trump and making excuses for his science denying racist incompetence!
Shit
make America sick again
Donald Trump should be at top of list.
More communist propaganda
You mean we are blowing up our economy when it’s not even the top cause of death? Democrats are going to mandate exercise and close fast food down. next. More deadly, but they haven’t listened to the science yet.
opinion Literacy rocks.
Just bullshit. Source?
Fuck WSJ. I suggest you unfollow if you are conservative.

Fake news
Facts lacking all round. America spends more money on PR spin than it does on basic research. And that's a fact.
You are fake news promoting a fake narrative. What has become of journalism?
important stories such as this should not be behind a paywall. it is a Civic Duty that even the washingtonpost understands. maybe that's why their Subscribe numbers are climbing.
A few years from now the awful truth will be revealed. The entire Trump Administration and Republican Congress, will be held accountable.

t's handling of COVID19 is going lower 🇺🇸 lifespan for years Covid survivors quality of life will be affected People aren't able to diagnose other illnesses so onset of treatment is delayed and outcomes worsen
Lameass paywall.
Paywall If people are ever come to their senses about COVID they'll likely need to hear it from RW media. The ENTIRE population of Atlanta GA dead in the US from COVID in less than a year's time. But that was 'just old disposable' people. Long term COVIDs want a word.
So a news paper spits out a number so it must be grue then right? Gtfo
knitnut2254 Far worse, 3rd world cannot monitor cases.
Breaking: Trump Killed 500,000 SO FAR.
Red states like FL are manipulating data on Covid! Underreporting and covering up cases and deaths! Thanks DeSantis for being a liar like trump!
Why do you tweet a link to your article, but keep it behind the paywall?
attn Fugattron
Red states lied about numbers to please Trump - just like the lies about “election fraud.” So many atrocities in service of the Republicans’ loss of grip on reality.
Thanks WhiteHouse POTUS
It will be a long time before our government regains its credibility.
For sure. Uk Only reported Hospital deaths
COVID19 pandemic
CDC: Jan 21, 2020 to Jan 15, 2021 there were over 23 million cases of Covid-19 in the US. Of those there have been nearly 390k deaths. That's 1.7% of cases that have resulted in deaths, & 98.3% of cases have survived. Leftist MSM likes to make it seem like everyone is dying. 🙄
Agree......
If you only count people under the age group of 80 . More people die from allergies to peanuts every year. Stop the fear mongering
you mean something official isn't true? that does surprise me.
Please don’t forget to mention the 70 million people who’ve recovered from covid. You know that small little detail which the media such as yourself just happens to leave out ON PURPOSE.
