The study found that there were more than 150,000 uncounted deaths from the disease at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. This number is significantly higher than officially reported statistics. The research points to dramatic differences in the number of uncounted deaths by region. Uncounted deaths occurred mainly in the initial stages of the pandemic. The study emphasizes that the actual death rate was underestimated compared to official figures. These findings are based on an analysis of data from the US.
