IMPORTANT - yunlikely that we will never know the true death toll. WHO suggest that the deaths are more than 10 times what they think, and suggest that India accounts for almost a third of COVID deaths globally

ways to fix this include improving the civil registration system and adding a question onto the census i.e. ‘was there a death in your household since the 1st Jan 2020?’

three million fatalities are simply not registered

out of ten million deaths a year 7 million do not have a medically certified cause of death

half of total deaths occur at home
