You know ham i did the math on the period and it appears about 10000 extra deaths occurred in LTC in 2020 due to çovid and dementia. How many were neglected?
Summary
In 2020, an estimated 16,333 excess deaths occurred (observed deaths: 309,912; expected deaths: 293,579) among Canadians.Footnote2 Of the deaths among Canadians aged 65 years and older occurring during this period, 14,140 were coded to COVID-19, representing 87% of all excess deaths.Footnote6 In addition, approximately 90% of COVID-19 related deaths among seniors 65 years and older occurred among individuals with pre-existing chronic conditions, with dementia as the most prevalent comorbidity.Footnote10
Older age and presence of chronic diseases have contributed to excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of COVID-19 attributed deaths do not account for all excess mortality during this period; therefore, other factors such as delays in seeking and accessing treatment and worsening of the overdose crisis have also likely contributed to the excess mortality.Footnote1Footnote11Footnote12
