Old Man Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 If the IHME throws out official counts of COVID deaths (which are problematic in certain authoritarian states) and instead uses excess death data, then after correcting for non-COVID effects, the actual fatality count from COVID-19 is almost exactly twice the official number. That puts the US at over 900,000 dead and the world at almost 7 million. 900,000 is more than the entire population of San Francisco, and more than the total dead of all U.S. wars combined. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't decide if I should applaud...this appears to be the kind of detailed, professional analysis of the data that's been needed...or cry. 7 million....? The tears are also because the deniers will reject this out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tears are also because the deniers will reject this out of hand. 7 million needless deaths. It's literally so horrific it's incomprehensible. There are bright spots, like how at least a few Western democracies held the virus at bay, or how mRNA tech was ready at exactly the right time to blunt the impact. But 7 million is a lot of dead people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I had my second Moderna shot on Friday. So far, the side effects have been identical to the first one (the injection site is very tender). tkdguy, Lawnmower Boy and Lee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 21 minutes ago, death tribble said: India surpasses 250,000 dead No. They passed 250,00 acknowledged. Other than tracking to see if the outbreak is starting to be contained, India's reported numbers are pointless. And even trying to use them to reflect shifts in the situation have to be done with a grain of salt. Or perhaps a tablespoon. Still, if the reported case rates drop greatly, it seems fair to expect the actual rates are dropping as well, so it's better than nothing.
