A recent survey has showed weird results on number of deaths before and on Covid-19 pandemic. It is evident that fear and Covid-19 brought a lot of tension in the world not only in kenya during last year. Most businesses were being affected and also most families lost their loved ones during this pandemic. The survey shows that few number of people died during 2020 as compared to those who died in 2019 that is before the pandemic. In 2019 191495 people died, in contrary 2020 184185 people died. Advanced economic survey also showed that from the past 5 years 2020 have the least number of deaths.
