The Economist publishes new estimates each day. We update our charts with the latest available data each week.\n\nExcess deaths measure the difference between how many people died during the pandemic, from any cause, and how many deaths would have been expected had there been no pandemic.\n\nMany countries have not reported any all-cause mortality data during the pandemic, which means their entire data series is estimated. Other countries report data regularly, but it is not always up-to-date due to delays in reporting; for these, only recent weeks are estimated. These delays, as well as incomplete reporting coverage, mean the reported number of deaths might not count all deaths that occurred.\n\nThe Economist's GitHub page, which contains their data and code, is here: https://github.com/TheEconomist/covid-19-the-economist-global-excess-deaths-model\n\nTo read The Economist's article presenting the model estimates, see: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates\n\nTo read about the model methodology, see: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/05/13/how-we-estimated-the-true-death-toll-of-the-pandemic\n\nFor the Our World in Data page on excess mortality during COVID-19, with expanded explanations and data from other sources, see: https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid",
