Compare this to H1N1 where the US had 4% of global deaths.

What changed so much? Oh yeah, having a competent President made the difference between 4% (Which is less than our % of the global population) and 29% which is 6 times as high as our share of the global population.

from pandemic-related illnesses, such as postponement of cancer surgery, or other medical services, financial stress-related heart attacks, domestic abuse, etc.

Sources and Methods
Our sources include Official Websites of Ministries of Health or other Government Institutions and Government authorities' social media accounts. Because national aggregates often lag behind the regional and local health departments' data, part of our work consists in monitoring thousands of daily reports released by local authorities. Our multilingual team also monitors press briefings' live streams throughout the day. Occasionally, we can use a selection of leading and trusted news wires with a proven history of accuracy in communicating the data reported by Governments in live press conferences before it is published on the Official Websites.

We provide the source of each data update in the "Latest Updates" (News) section.
