  • However, some countries with relatively smaller epidemics saw a large increase in the death rate when accounting for unreported deaths.
  • Moving forward, IHME\'s COVID-19 modeling, which forecasts the potential course of the pandemic over the next several months, will be based on these estimates of total COVID-19 deaths.
  • The resulting adjusted estimates include only deaths directly due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
