One study counts "excess deaths" which result from all causes which include:
This allows for reductions in deaths due to accidental deaths (such as vehicle crashes, drowning, and some falls) and some homicides (such as in bar-room brawls) due to people doing less of risky behavior as well as some communicable diseases such as influenza (measures that people take against COVID-19 also protect people from influenza). But even with these, the number of excess deaths from COVID-19, which include effects on mental health (including substance abuse) and people avoiding medical care out of fear of COVID-19. This is early unreported cases, especially in nursing facilities that because veritable slaughterhouses in which the cause of death was not sought.
The official count gives 574,043 identifiable deaths; excess deaths are figured to be 905,289 in the USA alone. The 'excess death count" is even more horrific.

Quote:a) the total COVID-19 death rate, that is, all deaths directly related to COVID-19 infection; b) the increase in mortality due to needed health care being delayed or deferred during the pandemic; c) the increase in mortality due to increases in mental health disorders including depression, increased alcohol use, and increased opioid use; d) the reduction in mortality due to decreases in injuries because of general reductions in mobility associated with social distancing mandates; e) the reductions in mortality due to reduced transmission of other viruses, most notably influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and measles; and f) the reductions in mortality due to some chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory disease, that occur when frail individuals who would have died from these conditions died earlier from COVID-19 instead. To correctly estimate the total COVID-19 mortality, we need to take into account all six of these drivers of change in mortality that have happened since the onset of the pandemic.
