This repository attempts to collect and visualize different data sources for Excess Deaths -- the difference between deaths of all causes in a region and an estimate of Expected Deaths.
Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19
By State

The notebook us_state_comparison.ipynb shows how the data set can be used to compare mortality of different states.
We borrow our baseline Expeced Deaths calculation from Kobak & Karlinsky using an age dependent linear extrapolation of the 2015โ19 trend.
Here is a visualization of their data as Excess Deaths per Million people.
The same data as a proportion of Expected Deaths.
The Economist has their own tracker of Excess deaths with a disparate collection of countries.
