The number of people who have died depends on the context or cause in question. For example:
- Over 7 million people have died from the coronavirus (COVID-19) officially recorded until the end of 2023, but the actual death toll may be closer to 21 million according to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates considering excess deaths during the pandemic.
- Globally, approximately 62 million people died in 2024 from all causes combined.
- In the United States, about 3,090,964 deaths were recorded in 2023 from all causes, including around 49,932 deaths due to COVID-19.
If a specific context or cause is needed, please clarify. Otherwise, the total global deaths per year are around 60+ million, and COVID-19 has caused millions of deaths specifically over the last few years.
