Excess death rates were computed as actual death rates divided by baseline death rates during july 2017 to june 2019, a corresponding 2 year period before the covid 19 pandemic. these accounted for determinants of cross state differences in levels of baseline mortality, to the extent that they persisted during the pandemic. This analysis finds that the u.s. had the highest rate of premature deaths amid the covid 19 pandemic in 2020 2021 among a group of 12 large, wealthy peer countries. the u.s. on average had more. It indicates in percentage terms how much higher (or lower) mortality was during a period of the pandemic than would have been expected in the absence of the pandemic. in the entire u.s., relative excess mortality decreased in large metros from 24.0% of expected deaths in the first year to 17.1% in the second year.
