I see this point of view a lot, and it's a little scary. Per-capita numbers are obviously highly valuable, but why is the raw number of people dead somehow meaningless?
- kyleee 6y agoNobody said the raw number of deaths is meaningless.
- rich_sasha 6y agoNot meaningless, but otherwise you are mostly comparing the _sizes_ of countries. Is being a bigger country (with more deaths) more dramatic than being a smaller one?
