Detailed explanation-1: -When an event or a disease causes more deaths than expected, it’s called “excess mortality.” COVID-19 is a good example of an illness causing excess mortality. In some hard-hit countries, data shows that COVID-19 caused 50% more deaths than were expected in a specific period of time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mortality is another term for death. A mortality rate is the number of deaths due to a disease divided by the total population. If there are 25 lung cancer deaths in one year in a population of 30, 000, then the mortality rate for that population is 83 per 100, 000.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. Bulgaria. Bulgaria has the highest mortality rate in the world at 15.4 deaths per 1, 000 people.
Detailed explanation-4: -Head injuries have a high mortality rate. The mortality rate of the Chindits was spectacular, but that bred its own unique esprit de corps among the survivors. The infant mortality rate had stood at 121 per 1, 000 live births.
