The Ministry of Health (MoH) in Singapore released this very interesting report on excess deaths over the weekend.https://t.co/LSvIvsd0ma

In measuring excess deaths, the MoH have used the 2019 standardised death rate as their baseline. Their measurement allows for changes in the size and age distribution of the population. Any excess represents a worse mortality RATE compared with 2019. This is good.

They found there were 2,490 excess deaths in the 2.5 years of 2020, 2021 and H1 2022.

Covid deaths accounted for 1,403 of the excess deaths (representing 3/5ths of the excess).
Most of the excess was during the Delta and Omicron BA.1/B.2 waves. pic.twitter.com/NfrvPjOW59
And REALLY interesting.

"In a secondary analysis of persons without recent infection, no additional excess deaths were found."
Wow.
This is a very interesting finding given we have seen higher numbers of deaths than expected from stroke (as well as ischaemic heart disease) in Australia.

… Key indicators such as the rates of death within 30 days of presenting … with a heart attack or stroke at our public hospitals in years 2020 to 2021 were comparable to rates seen in the previous years."

Seems roughly similar, though smaller than our #WorldMortality estimate of 3.3K.

Important also to highlight how much better their booster coverage is compared to AU. Now at 80% total population. https://t.co/znxBpBGLWp pic.twitter.com/HZUiBo9y0I
