Covid-19 in Proportion
- mantrid84 6y agoInteresting comparison of current outbreak with previous seasons in UK and overall mortality in Europe by data scientist
- SomeoneFromCA 6y agoSo strange. Covid in 1 MONTH, with all its lockdown measures killed more than flu in whole seasons. It is also a strange comparison of UK with Sweden, which has to be compared with neighboring countries, and not arbitrary compared with UK. Say Norway and Germany have vastly, very significantly lower death rate from covid.
