  The Economist's model to estimate excess deaths to the covid-19 pandemic

  

It is very interesting. There is a link in this article to another article that contains a pretty shocking global estimate based on excess deaths: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-...

It is more than 4X the official count. Some of that is probably in places with no official numbers. But one wonders how many are in China.

Thank you. I did not imagine anyone would actually like the layout/UI. I have been looking for input on how to improve it.

The site itself is just handcoded HTML: https://github.com/mcculley/mcculley.github.io/blob/master/V...

The polar area diagrams are generated by Java code I wrote for this purpose: https://github.com/mcculley/ObservedDeathVisualizer

The bar charts and the line graph are generated by Datawrapper (https://app.datawrapper.de) using the CSVs exported by the aforementioned code.

  World Mortality Dataset: international data on all-cause mortality.

India doesn't feature in the table in their article. It is not represented in their sources, the World Mortality Database[0], or the Human Mortality Database[1]. Yet they somehow estimated that India had 2.3 million excess deaths. Based on what, exactly?
