The worst US was hit by a pandemic in the Big Western G7 democracy during the first year of Covid-19, according to a recent study of excess deaths.
Analysis, carried out for the BBC by the Health Foundation, came on the night of the G7 summit in Cornwall.
It measures the death above the expected level for the normal year.
Last year, the previous BBC study showed that at that time, England was hit. Overall, English results are now the second worst at G7.
The analysis showed that in the second half of last year in particular, US mortality failed to fall back as many industrial countries that are comparable.

However, the more British results in the first wave, and the peak of significant deaths in December and January, still meant that the overall English results were the worst, in one size right behind the US.
Other G7 countries – Italy, France, Canada, Germany and Japan – have fewer excess deaths, with the last three significantly less.

The main measure of comparison is excess death. This is the percentage of normal death over the year, which can help take into account different measurement techniques in various countries.
This is the size of the overall impact of the pandemic, including directly from the disease and from the response to it.
The raw amount of Covid-19 deaths reported shows Britain as the worst in the G7, but most analysts believe there has been structurally under the reporting of Covid death in the US, which has seen less testing, making a comparison of excess deaths more accordingly.
Analysis shows that between March 2020 and February 2021, there were more deaths more than the normal year for the US (+ 20.2%) and slightly under the fifth for the UK (+ 19.6%),
Italy is lower, but still devastated significantly (+ 17%), the excess death of France is one-10 higher (+ 10.2%), and then Canada (+ 5.1%) and Germany (+ 4.9% ) Just see the normal one -20 death.
Japanese death (-1.4%) was actually lower in this first year than expected.
Another size, adjusted to the population size, indicates that there are 227 excess deaths for every 100,000 people in the US.
Only under both of them for England (181) and Italy (180). France is clearly lower in 125. Canada (92) and Germany (92) have an excess death rate under one in 1,000. And the Japanese figure is still lower (47).
Improved Death Graph Expected
Comparing waves of pandemic during this year showed that the level of excess death in the US remained high between the peak and never fell back to zero. This reflects the absence of different locking and policies in various US states.
Charles Tallack from the Health Foundation said: “Understanding how similar countries have had a pandemic that is an important part of learning for the future.
“Excess deaths – how many deaths have occurred in the usual year – generally considered as an objective and fair way to compare the country.
“During the first year of Pandemi, the US came out as the worst affected country in G7 with death up to 25% more than usual.
“England is not far behind in second place. Japan has been the best for Germany. This rating remains the same even when we use a slightly different approach, so we believe that they provide a fair comparison in the first year.”
Expected death graph
Other metrics show that the US has the fastest economic bounce, has made a lost pandemic growth. The US economy is expected to grow 6.9% this year, after falling 3.5% last year.
The UK is expected to grow the same number at 7.2% this year, but after falling the biggest in the G7 in 2020 from -9.8%. Canada also bounced back quickly, with this year’s growth estimate of more than 6%, after a relatively simple hit last year 5%.
