Study finds there were fewer than expected deaths in 2020
Luke Grant speaks to Associate Professor Katy Bell, from Sydney University’s School of Public Health, to discuss research that reveals there were fewer than expected deaths in 2020 compared to projections based on statistics from 2015-2019.
This even accounts for deaths from COVID experienced that year, suggesting Australian public health measures prevented a number of non-COVID-19 deaths.
