How many people have died in New Hampshire because of COVID-19?
That seems a straightforward question but it’s actually pretty complicated. One possible answer is: 440 more than we have counted.
As of late November the answer was about 500, according to the state’s official report of people who succumbed to COVID-19 based on death certificates and laboratory tests. But that’s not the whole picture.
Health officials know that pandemics can kill people indirectly. It makes them skip medical care for treatable diseases because they’re afraid to leave their house; it delays care because hospitals and doctors are too busy; it kills people through stress that leads to heart attacks and strokes, or by driving them to drink or drugs; it changes lives in ways that cause more fatal accidents.
