Abstract:	The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is causing substantial increases in mortality across populations worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, by 22 May 2020, >325 000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths have occurred worldwide. 1 The pandemic has overwhelmed health systems in many countries, potentially leading to increases in morbidity and mortality beyond the direct impact of COVID-19 infection. These increases in mortality, both direct and indirect, have the potential to cause stagnations or declines in life expectancy.
