Fig. 1: Observed and expected number of deaths, relative excess mortality, and the Oxford stringency index.
From: Direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality in Switzerland
A Observed and expected number of weekly deaths by age group in Switzerland from February 2020 to April 2022. Model-predicted expected deaths are shown with a median and 95% credibility interval. Numbers at the top indicate epidemic phases 1–7. B Estimated relative excess mortality by seven epidemic phases from February 2020 to April 2022 and five age groups. Medians with 95% credible intervals (error bars) are shown. See Online Supplementary Table S3 for the size of each group. C Timeline of the Oxford stringency index in Switzerland50. n = 588,739 during January 2011 and December 2019 and n = 156,193 observed all-cause deaths during February 2020 and April 2022 were used to derive the above statistics.
