Washington, April 28 (RHC)-- The U.S. death toll from the COVID-19 outbreak has topped 56,000, but more evidence is emerging that the actual death toll may be far higher.
A new study by a team at the Yale School of Public Health found there were over 15,000 excess deaths in the United States during the month of March and first days of April. The figure is nearly double what officials have been citing as the death toll from the pandemic during that period.
Worldwide, the known death toll has topped 211,000, though the true number is also expected to be much higher.
