You are correct. That's why I went with "kind of meaningless". Maybe a bit too harsh by me. What I really meant was "not as meaningful as people make it out to be." (or "seem to want it to be"). The post kind of goes from straight talk about deaths to "and here are stats" which are not at all showing deaths. Comes off a little dishonest to me. And the stat on deaths being "40% above the U.S. equivalent" just seem plain wrong. See the comments on the post for that.
