- 41 lightning deaths per year in the USA [1] out of 328M people. 41/328M = 1.25e-7
- 1,263 covid deaths in the USA out of 163M vaccinated [2]. 1263/163M = 7.75e-6 and it's not even August.
Seems wrong, by more than (vaccinated=1263/163M)/(lightning=41/328M) = 62x. Or am I missing something?

- Fjolsvith 5y agoNo, you pegged the piece properly.
- ohiovr 5y agoWell there are more thunderstorms this year, in Ohio at least. Even brick walls are getting destroyed by them.
- shadowgovt 5y agoYour second numerator should be COVID deaths of vaccinated people, not total COVID deaths.
