- rajin444 5y agoThat's not a fair comparison. Most covid deaths are from those already past the average life expectancy. There's a very good chance they were going to die soon anyways. Not to mention you have to account for cancer patient + covid, etc. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe-mortality/sweden-saw-lower-2020-death-spike-than-much-of-europe-data-idUSKBN2BG1R9 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe...
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoIt's completely fair. There's always a cause of death, and averages aren't indicative of individual cases. If an old person gets shot by a gun tomorrow, we don't chalk that up as "well, they had their time."
