Our official count captures only deaths with a confirmed positive test and formal medical certification. The WHO's excess mortality model includes many indirect and unattributed deaths, which, while tragic, fall outside our strict registration protocol. My training is to record the fact in the column, not the probable cause in the heart. This is what my data must do, even as I remember helping my father fill his porter's registration form at the Badrinath office, his knees stiff, another kind of uncounted toll.
