    Is there anybody doing systematic tracking of the number of excess deaths over what is normal this time of year? Might be a good way to gauge how many deaths from coronavirus aren't being captured by lack of testing.

        Or are externalities of resources being shifted to coronavirus response.

        That’s from the 21st. They’ve been reporting much more accurate figures since then. Hence the spike in death toll.

        the problem I see is how many deaths are being caused not by covid but b/c resources being consumed by it, affecting others.

        Probably hard to normalize for the effect of also making everyone in the world stay inside which is likely a much lower mortality rate than...not staying inside

        Or maybe how many from seasonal flu might be mistaken for Covid19.

        And pnuemonia. Mis-categorized cause of death is where the true Coronavirus numbers are hiding.

        If we assume COVID deaths are "additional" i.e. none of them would have died otherwise, and assume normal seasonality as a baseline.... here's what New York's weekly deaths could look like soon, assuming continued growth in deaths at declining rates of increase. pic.twitter.com/sYjpALl3NN

        Covid will also cause higher fatility rates in other areas due to staffing issues.
