Covid-19 Deaths vs Other Causes 1990-2019/2020 Global

This bar chart race compares Covid-19 deaths per 100.000 to other causes of deaths from 1990 to 2019. The second graph shows the total yearly deaths, total average per year and the 5-year running average, from 1990-2020.

The Covid-19 deaths per 100K is converted into a yearly number, from the first day of confirmed deaths to 9th April 2021.
Note that the total deaths in 2020 is not final for all countries. So here it is projected deaths vs worst case scenario (worst case: assuming none of the Covid-19 deaths would occur as other causes of deaths that year). In reality, the number is not the worst case assumption, but somewhere between when isolation from other anomalies that may have occured in 2020.
Other major pandemics and epidemics are not included here (see earlier videos).
