Yeah, I don't read FT, but this article from a few months ago was interesting "Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported". TLDR covid-caused and/or covid-exacerbated deaths have been pushed into other categories causing an 'anomalous increase' across the board.
And that's also likely an underestimate. How many deaths in rural India (or even Brazil) are reported correctly or even at all? We probably wont know the real toll until we compare pre and post Covid census data.
That's just the recorded deaths they couldn't write off some other way.
