  Source code and data for The Economist's covid-19 excess deaths tracker

  

An interesting side effect of tracking excess deaths for COVID reasons was that we saw the impact of heatwaves in mortality.

For example, Greece had its highest excess death rate of the last couple of years in August 2021 (+61% deviation from expected deaths [1]). Cyprus had similar rates. That was not due to COVID but due to an _once in a lifetime_ heatwave [2].
