New research shows deaths in the U.S. spiked in the first months of the pandemic, but not all because of COVID-19.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign looked at data from March 2020 through November and compared the numbers to the previous five years. They discovered about 176,000 “excess deaths” that were not related to coronavirus.
“This really raises some important questions about how we’ve responded to the pandemic,” said Dr. Sheldon Jacobson, a professor of computer science at UIUC and of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. “Which demographics, which groups, which ages and genders have been most affected? And how are we going to use this information to ultimately make society safer for the greatest number of people?”
