a
Excess deaths were derived by comparing daily deaths between March 2 and June 30, 2020, with the expected daily deaths estimated by the Farrington surveillance algorithm for daily historical data between 2014 and 2020.
b
Non–COVID-19–related excess deaths were derived by subtracting COVID-19–related excess deaths from total excess deaths.
c
Excess deaths in subgroups may not add up to total excess deaths because of rounding errors in comparison with the historical baseline data.
d
The numbers do not add up to the total deaths because of missingness (1.9%).
