SEATTLE - A new study concludes that COVID-19 has caused more than 905,000 deaths in America and more than double the global deaths that have been reported.

The United States, for example, has reported roughly 577,000 deaths as of this week, but the 905,000 counted by IHME is much higher - more deaths than any other country.

Researchers say roughly 6.9 million people have died around the world, compared to the 3.25 million that have been reported.

Covid-19 pandemic is not a black swan event
