Even going by the "covid on death certificate" number, it's 109 a day. Adjusted for population it's almost as bad as the science-denying shitshow that is half the US right now. Compare that to countries who actually have it under control like Australia and Taiwan, who had eight and zero deaths yesterday.

- aaronmdjones 5y agoYeah, I'm not trying to diminish the situation; it's appalling. I'm just pointing out that relying on figures with unknown (or in this case, frankly ridiculous) methodologies to make comparisons to other countries (which will have different methodologies again) muddies the water at best.
- Causality1 5y agoQuite right, and that wasn't my goal anyway. I was just making the point that lifting mask restrictions and having large social gatherings does not mean we have the pandemic under control.
