Abstract

Counts of covid-19 deaths will continue to influence government responses for some time to come. Infrastructures for counting deaths must be adapted to fit evolving circumstances. As we adapt to living with covid-19 data that report how people die and in what numbers should be augmented by information on how they lived and what they valued. A critical question for decision makers and society is: what does a sustainable approach to the collection and use of data on covid deaths for public health purposes look like?
