Regarding the US, according to the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website, by downloading the number of deaths per week and adding together, the total number of deaths in the US in 2020 that gives us is 3,403,979 people. I put the link to the CDC page from where the table is downloaded:
Making the summation of weekly data from the excell file downloaded with the name "Weekly_Counts_of_Deaths_by_State_and_Select_Causes__2020-2021" of Mortality for 2020, the Table of Mortaloty in the US (1960-2020) would be the following:
Consequently, the Historical Mortality Graph in USA (1960-2020) would be the following:
1. How many deaths in total had this year 2020 in the US according to the data available to date?
The total deaths in 2020 in the US were 3,403,979, according to the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
2. Were more deaths in 2020 than in 2019?
Yes, more people died in 2020 than in 2019. 551,370 more people have died than in 2019. This represents an increase in mortality compared to 2019 of 19.33%.
Is this a lot of people? How can I compare it to get an idea?
The monthly mean mortality rate in the US in 2019 was 237,717 deaths/ month. Well, it would be approximately in terms of mortality as if this year 2020 there had been 2.3 more months than the usual deaths in 2019.
Considering the historical series of the last 60 years, there would be no precedent for an annual percentage rise in mortality to the height of 19.33% in the USA; In 1968, it is worth highlighting an increase in total annual mortality of 5.28%; in 1993 there was an increase in total annual mortality of 4.90%.
3. Can we draw any conclusions from the long-term perspective of mortality?
The US has been in an upward trend in mortality from 1960 to the present, and this last year 2020 has intensified the verticality of the trend, as can be seen in the graph, it is in free rise well above the previous historical highs of 2019.
4. Do all the countries analyzed have a similar situation of variation in mortality this year 2020 of the Global Pandemic?
With the final Mortality data for 2020, all the countries analyzed have increased their mortality compared to 2019, except Australia where it has decreased.
Regarding the countries where Mortality has grown in 2020, where we see important differences is in the proportion of the increase in mortality. Some countries have reasonable or low mortality growths, others medium or high, and others are marking percentages of annual growth in mortality not seen in 60 years.
We also find different situations for each country in the long-term charts.
