Here are Excess Deaths for Australia, comparing 2015-2019 against 2020 onwards. Each individual excess death is represented by a single point, spread out across the weeks and years.
COVID-19 infections are a direct risk factor for many other issues driving mortality, and also have an indirect impact on health system capacity & functioning, and general population health. With the winding down of testing and reporting for COVID-19, Excess Deaths now give the clearest picture of the ongoing impact of the pandemic.
