South Africa’s excess deaths amount to 1 out of every 200 people. The most vulnerable have already been removed from the sample set.
I’m going to wait for severity data from where I live, because that’s what matters.
- tsol 5y agoCorrection: SOME OF the most vulnerable have already been removed from the sample set. I'm still waiting on proper large scale studies as well, though. It'll probably be at least a week or two until we get that
- anonfornoreason 5y agoevery year more vulnerable people are added to that set as population ages, gets fatter, has more advanced coronary or metabolic disease, etc. not trying to contradict here I think it will be less each year. maybe governments will even start telling people their dirt and exercise choices are exacerbating this disease!
- croes 5y agoAfter the pandemic the mortality could be lower for some years because some timed sooner because of COVID. At the same time the "normal" deaths from operations will be added when the postponed operations are rescheduled.
- kansface 5y ago> every year more vulnerable people are added to that set as population ages, gets fatter, has more advanced coronary or metabolic disease, etc. The number added each season is not necessarily the same number as the ones removed in the previous year - see the prevalence of really bad flu seasons for instance, which occur every 2-3 years or so.
