Photo (c) Anton Petrus - Getty ImagesA new study conducted by researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University identified a large uptick in the excess death rate in 2020. According to their findings, the excess death rate surged by more than 20 percent over the previous year. While COVID-19 was primarily to blame for this, the researchers say there were also other factors at play.
“This country has experienced profound loss of life due to the pandemic and its consequences, especially in communities of color,” said researcher Dr. Peter Buckley. “While we must remain vigilant with social distancing and mask-wearing behaviors for the duration of this pandemic, we must also make efforts to ensure the equitable distribution of care if we are to reduce the likelihood of further loss of life.”
Analyzing the death rate
The researchers analyzed the death rate between the start of 2020 and the start of 2021 to determine how excessive deaths were affected by the pandemic and other factors.
Ultimately, the excessive death rate rose by nearly 23 percent over the last year; the researchers explained that in a typical year, excessive deaths hover between one to two percent. COVID-19 was responsible for the majority of excess deaths in 2020, but the study also found surges in deaths from conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
“COVID-19 accounted for roughly 72 percent of the excess deaths we’re calculating, and that’s similar to what our earlier studies showed,” said researcher Dr. Steven Woolf. “There is a sizable gap between the number of publicly reported COVID-19 deaths and the sum total of excess deaths the country has actually experienced.”
What communities were at the highest risk
In looking at the death rate around the country, the researchers found that certain areas and groups of people were at a higher risk of death than others. States in the northeast were hit the hardest during the early months of the pandemic, and states in the southern part of the country experienced spikes in the death rate after social distancing guidelines began to lighten up.
“They said they were opening early to rescue the economy,” Dr. Woolf said. “The tragedy is that policy not only cost more lives, but actually hurt their economy by extending the length of the pandemic. One of the big lessons our nation must learn from COVID-19 is that our health and our economy are tied together. You can’t really rescue one without the other.”
Similarly, the researchers found that the excess death rate disproportionately impacted Black consumers more so than white consumers.
“This, of course, is consistent with the evidence about COVID-19 but also indicates that excess deaths from some conditions other than COVID-19 are also occurring at higher rates in the African American population,” Dr. Woolf said.
Moving forward, the researchers hope that consumers and health care providers understand the gravity of these findings. They say the impact of the pandemic may continue to be felt in the months to come.
“Once again, [states] are lifting restrictions, opening businesses back up, and now seeing the COVID-19 variants spread through their population,” Dr. Woolf said. “To prevent more excess deaths, we need to hold our horses and maintain the public health restrictions that we have in place so the vaccine can do its work and get the numbers under control.”
We recently completed testing on the 2021 Genesis GV80, and this week we share how this all-new SUV from Hyundai's luxury brand performed. What keeps you comfortable when you're behind the wheel? This week we discuss our comfort must-haves when driving, as well as our personal pet peeves that drive us crazy! Other topics on this episode include crash testing on female body types, potential safety hazards when driving an electric vehicle through a flooded road, and whether buying a used upscale car or leasing a new, more affordable car makes more financial sense for a recent college grad.

Big wheels and low-profile tires are a popular way to add style to your car. But do tires with shorter sidewalls have any performance benefits? And how do they stack up when faced with the scourge of winter and spring driving - the pothole? CR experts evaluate how a low-profile tire on 18-inch wheels handles a pothole on our test track compared to a more traditional 16-inch wheel with a taller sidewall tire. We also share tips on how you can avoid suffering a blowout or tire damage when driving in pothole-prone areas.

This week we drove the all-new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, and we share our first impressions on the interior styling, and how it handled on our track. Rivian, the fledgling electric truck and SUV nameplate, just announced a plan to install EV chargers at places known for outdoor recreation: state parks and campsites. We talk about how this plan differentiates it from other automakers, and whether it's enough to stand out in a market dominated by Tesla. We also discuss the potential resale value of gas-powered cars in a future that could be dominated by hybrids, why cars from different brands that share a parent company might have a big difference in quality, and the best way to judge a car for long-term comfort during a test drive.

Scammers are following the headlines about economic impact payments. Know how to spot and avoid the scams to keep your money and information to yourself. Learn more at https://ftc.gov/coronavirus.
**********************************
Transcript:
Hi, I’m Becca Kelly Slaughter, Acting Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency.
You’ve probably heard the great news that the American Rescue Plan is now law. That means lots of people will soon be getting desperately-needed economic impact payments—some folks call them stimulus payments—of up to fourteen hundred dollars.
Many of you have been here before, so you know these funds will come through direct deposit, check, or debit card.
But we here at the FTC would like to remind you that scammers follow the headlines, too. So here are a few sure ways to spot a scammer trying to take your money or personal information.
First, know that nobody in the government will ask you to pay anything up front to get your economic impact payment. There’s no way to get your payment faster, and there’s no form to fill out. That’s simply a scam.
Second, the government will not call, email, text, or message you on social media to ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Third, anyone who tells you to pay by money transfer, gift card, or cryptocurrency is a scammer. No matter WHY they say you need to pay.
If you spot these scams, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Every report helps us try to stop scammers.
And let me say a word to would-be scammers: the FTC will use all of its enforcement authority to come after bad actors who try to take advantage of people anxiously awaiting relief.
To learn more about avoiding pandemic-related scams, visit FTC.gov/coronavirus. And help us spread the word. Share these tips and this video through your network. Thanks for helping us protect people from scams.
