As the United States careens closer to an official tally of 1 million lives lost to Covid-19, the World Health Organization this morning provided Deadline and other outlets with a detailed estimate of the “full death toll” that can be attributed either directly or indirectly to Covid-19 worldwide.
Called “excess mortality,” the number is calculated as the difference between the deaths that have occurred and the number that — based on data from earlier years — would be expected in the absence of the pandemic.

Population-wise, that’s as if Portugal, Sweden, Cuba, Rwanda or Greece were wiped off the map. And the tally may be low.
An estimate from The Lancet of excess mortality worldwide due to Covid-19 over the course of 2020 and 2021 pegged the full death toll at more than 18 million. Meanwhile, the more commonly-cited direct calculation of Covid deaths we hear on the nightly news is about 6 million. That means between 9 and 12 million deaths worldwide routinely go unrecognized in most reported tallies.
WHO explained some specifics related to the count:
