- Jommi 6y agoOops. Missed a zero, classically. So that does make it look more alarming. However could still be heavily effected by things such as low testing amounts, or vulnerable people front loading the numbers.
- spaced-out 6y agoDeaths from Covid have already passed 100k, way more deaths than any flu season since those infamous pandemics, and that's despite lockdowns. No amount of fiddling with numbers changes that.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y ago> or vulnerable people front loading the numbers So vulnerable people dying should not contribute to covid mortality statistics? Why is that?
- Jommi 6y agoI mean that when we are in the middle of a pandemic most likely deaths are frontloaded in that those that are going to be affected the most, will most likely be the most effected by now. If that makes sense. So it's more of a thing to keep in mind when comparing mortality statistics of an in progress pandemic to past pandemics.
- ccozan 6y agoNope. Is 0.4. check again.
