With how bad the Delta wave was there, this would not surprise me at all. I would also think in other parts of the world that had Delta, there was a massive death increase that is probably underreported as well.

Title: India - Did the state of Gujarat have 200,000+ Covid deaths in 2021?

SUMMARY - In India, government data indicates that the state of Gujarat saw a 38% increase in deaths in 2021 as opposed to the previous year of 2020. If all of these extra deaths are attributable to the Covid-19 pandemic, it would mean an additional 200,000 deaths to go along with the 11,000 official deaths from the virus for that year. The spike in excess mortality is not exclusive to this state but was seen in several other states through India.
