During the covid-19 pandemic there were large differences in excess deaths between high income countries, as shown in a study recently published in BMJ. The number of excess deaths gives a better estimate of the effects of covid-19 on mortality than the number of reported deaths from covid-19. This comment explains why and shows the consequences for the interpretation of Dutch mortality data. Differences in excess deaths are an important starting point for the evaluation of public health measures against coronavirus spreading.
