Interesting. The excess deaths from graph looks to be ~500,000 to 600,000, not the 1,000,000 that is claimed.

- katbyte 4y agoThere are two datapoints with a 500,000-750,000 jump so yes the chart shows over 1,000,0000. And that doesn’t take into account the drop in normal deaths from lockdowns and wfh but anyways.
- refurb 4y agoTwo jumps? So 1.5M died? But you are correct, it's cumulative, so without Covid you'd expect max ~100,000 more deaths per year (aging population), so the baseline would be 2019 - 2.8M (+0 excess deaths) 2020 - 2.9M (+500k excess deaths) 2021 - 3.0M (+400k excess deaths) So 900k.
- gtr 4y agoI guess half a million people dying is fine then.
