Well, we are already at roughly .04% worldwide deaths, and that with quite some doing to contain the disease in most of the world. I would suggest that letting COVID-19 run it's course, the numbers would be quite a bit higher, and even with current measures in place and vaccinations underway, we will certainly exceed .06% by the end of the year.
- thesis 6y agoIs it possible however they are attributing death counts in 1890 are different than they are today? Maybe if they used the same standards for who dies today that they did in 1890 the n umbers back then could be higher?
- corty 6y agoMaybe. But precise counts are a challenge even today, because different countries use different methods of counting. E.g. some only count corona deaths after a PCR test, some after an autopsy, some require just symptoms of COVID to be there, some count every dead infected person as corona death, even if it was a car accident, etc. So direct comparisons even between countries today are unprecise. I have no idea at all, what things looked like back then.
