The excess deaths are not linked to Covid compared to other periods.

The 14.9 million deaths include "deaths directly attributed to Covid-19 that were reported to WHO, deaths directly attributed to Covid-19 that were not counted or reported ... deaths indirectly associated with the pandemic due to the wider impact on health systems and society," Asma explained.

The figure also subtracts any deaths that were avoided due to changes in social behaviors, such as fewer fatalities from car wrecks because of lockdowns or travel restrictions.

The estimated range of excess deaths was 13.3 million to 16.6 million over the 24-month period, according to the methodology used in the WHO report.

Think WHO suggestion is wrong. eg is Us its officially data include some deaths of other reasons, not directly due to covid.

Many who have other critical illness unable to go hospital due to hospital full house as well.

Also during early mid of 2020, many cases of deaths at old folk home are due left to die or mismanagement.
The numbers could be as large as Ukr war losses.

All these number WHO never substracted.
Not that covid is not dangerous but it is hyped.
