From your source:
In our work on the Coronavirus pandemic we visualize the data on the confirmed number of deaths from COVID-19 for all countries. We update this data daily based on figures published by Johns Hopkins University (JHU).
But these confirmed deaths figures may differ from the excess mortality figures, which better capture the total impact of the pandemic on deaths, for several reasons:
- Some (but not all) countries only report COVID-19 deaths that occur in hospitals — people that die from the disease at home may not be recorded;
- Some countries only report deaths for which a COVID-19 test has confirmed that a patient was infected with the virus — untested individuals may not be included;
- Death reporting systems may be insufficient to accurately measure mortality — this is particularly true in poorer countries;
- The pandemic may result in increased deaths from other causes for a number of reasons including weakened healthcare systems; fewer people seeking treatment for other health risks; or less available funding and treatment for other diseases (e.g. HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis);
- The pandemic may also result in fewer deaths from other causes. For example, the mobility restrictions during the pandemic might lead to fewer deaths from road accidents. Or there might be fewer deaths from the flu because of interventions to stop the spread of COVID-19, or because COVID-19 now causes deaths that would have otherwise been caused by the flu.
So, confirmed COVID deaths differ from these excess mortality figures because people dying at home might not be recorded, untested individuals might not be included (hard to say someone is a COVID death when they are suspected, but they did anyway), other causes (which is what I was saying) are a large part of it and fewer deaths from driving and other like activities due to lockdown impact.
Lots of profound statements here. Nothing supports your original statement that these excess deaths are "clearly attributed to COVID", though. What else ya got?
