"MELBOURNE, March 27 – Twenty Australians are dying every day because of
Covid-19 — five years after the pandemic that changed the world was declared
and three years after the country largely ended restrictions.
The figure comes from a recent study comparing excess mortality before and
after the pandemic declaration to account for deaths beyond those directly
attributable to Covid.
That study indicated the toll is still mounting and is significantly higher
than official figures — that concentrate on direct COVID-related deaths —
indicate.
It also points to critical gaps in Australia’s vaccination rates, indoor air
quality and pandemic preparedness that require urgent action.
Overall, it found Australia’s pandemic excess death toll was now more than
30,000 — and almost all of those deaths had been since the country ‘reopened’
in late 2021 and early 2022.
The official figure for Covid deaths during that period is lower than the
excess with 26,000 deaths either from or with Covid.
The study found there were more than 7,600 excess deaths in Australia in the
first 11 months of 2024 — surprisingly, about the same as in 2023. Without
action, this level of mortality could become the new normal."
