In the industrial world, sure. In Iran? I really doubt it. And even given good morgue and hospital reporting, there are confounding factors: we're dying more to covid but less to other causes due to the lockdowns. Or alternatively some conditions are harder to get treatment for and less likely to be well-diagnosed, etc...
I think I stand by "years" until we have a good consensus model for how the pandemic spread and what the effects were.
