Excess mortality in men and women in Massachusetts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Lancet has published a correspondence about the research of Dr. Nancy Krieger, PhD and her colleagues at Harvard University. The piece comes after many states have grappled with statistics on SARS-CoV-2 -related deaths in their own states as well as the various sex-differences between females and males that succumb to SARS-CoV-2. The comparative data Dr. Krieger shares from 2015-2019 in contrast to 2020 are staggering as seen here.
