^a Linked death counts do not match overall death counts during this period because not all US residents are registered to vote, and the mortality data set included approximately 83.5% of deaths in the US. Excess death rates were calculated by comparing observed deaths in a particular week to expected deaths based on a regression model. Additional details on the excess death methods and statistical analyses are provided in the eMethods in Supplement 1.
