Many more people have died from corona, when looking at all deaths, not just public corona deaths

because of underreporting and people dying of other diseases while hospitals busy tackling corona

Great story from New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronavirus-missing-deaths.html
Interestingly, the only country to accurately describe the number of corona deaths was Sweden

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronavirus-missing-deaths.html
It shows that all nations are underreporting
There is also an interesting *under*mortality in many countries because of a less-than-normal deadly winter/flu, as shown here from France (the gap between the expected deaths and the actual, lower deaths in January-March)
