I would suggest there were numerous deaths occurring from it prior to March. We know of a few as it is from them testing old samples. It just wasn’t as known due to a lack of testing and awareness. Just like with new cases, once we started testing for them more the numbers predictably quickly rose as well. Sure the numbers weren’t as great early on but they could easily have been growing until the boiling point of March as the more vulnerable populations became increasingly infected.
