What is the variation in the WHO new estimate of COVID-19 deaths in India?

1. The latest estimate is also considering deaths which are the results of COVID-19 impacts
2. WHO has appointed new members of a panel to assess COVID-19 death toll
3. This time WHO is taking into account those deaths which are only from COVID-19
4. WHO has impeded powerful countries from interfering in death estimation

Correct answer: The latest estimate is also considering deaths which are the results of COVID-19 impacts

Solution

The passage says the new WHO estimate includes not only previously uncounted deaths but also deaths resulting from the impact of COVID-19, such as inability to access care. Therefore, the variation is that indirect pandemic-related deaths are also being considered.
