Total Excess Lower Estimate in 2020: SUM of all Excess Lower Estimate for each state for each outcome (all causes)
Total Excess Higher Estimate in 2020: SUM of all Excess Higher Estimate for each state for each outcome (all causes)
Estimates of excess deaths are provided based on the observed number of deaths relative to two different thresholds. The lower end of the excess death estimate range is generated by comparing the observed counts to the upper bound threshold, and a higher end of the excess death estimate range is generated by comparing the observed count to the average expected number of deaths.
The total number of excess deaths in each state was calculated by summing the excess deaths in each week, from February 1, 2020 to present.
Similarly, the total number of excess deaths in the US was calculated by summing the total numbers of excess deaths across the jurisdictions.
