The recorded death count from the Covid-19 pandemic is nearing 2 million world-wide. The true extent is far worse.⁠⠀⁠⠀
More than 2.8 million people have lost their lives due to the pandemic, according to a WSJ analysis of data from 59 countries and jurisdictions. This tally offers the most comprehensive view yet of the Covd-19’s global impact. Deaths in these places last year surged more than 12% above average levels.⁠⠀

To better understand the pandemic’s global toll, we compiled the most recent available data on deaths from all causes from countries with available records. The tally found more than 821,000 additional deaths that aren’t accounted for in governments’ official Covid-19 death counts, even before accounting for all deaths from the late-year surge in cases.⁠⠀
