The problem is that you are saying death rate is so high but neither you or the article gave a rate. The number 21000 is not a rate and even if we forget about denominator. We still don't know how this number is constructed (might be lower or higher). What does the count process and how the data is collected. And as I asked before does this count family members or not (happened with many reports regarding world cup in qatar) Now to construct rate you will need to say even if this number is correct (which we don't know) against what denominator especially if people want to compare it against death rate in different countries like some people did with US. The report here raises many real questions that people would need to think about. I don't defend Saudi Arabia and I hate their working system for obvious reasons.
