Our model gives a 95% probability that the covid-19 death toll to date is between 7.1m and 12.7m, with a central estimate of 10.2m

say there have been 55,000 covid deaths in South Africa since March 27th last year. That puts the country’s death rate at 92.7 per 100,000 people, the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. It is also a significant underestimate—as, it seems safe to infer, are all the other African data on the disease.

But the excess-mortality method has failed to provide useful or robust global figures for the simple reason that most countries, and in particular most poor countries, do not provide excess-mortality statistics in a timely fashion. Global estimates have used the official numbers, despite knowing that the figure—currently 3.3m—surely falls well short of the true total.

To create these global estimates of total excess deaths during the pandemic, we drew on a wide range of data. Official counts of covid-19 deaths, however imperfect they may be, are available for most countries; they are shown in the top map on this page. So, frequently, are data on the number of covid cases and the share of covid tests that are positive.

The ranges for Africa and Asia are spectacularly wide. So they should be. The data from which to make strong predictions are not available, and in some places do not exist. Yet, wide as they are, they provide a more reliable picture than official tallies. The 50% probability ranges narrow considerably: 3.3m-5.2m for Asia, 0.8m-1.6m for Africa, 8.2m-10.5m for the world.

Modi is busy killing Muslims in India and Kashmir. He has no time to count the dead bodies or provide oxygen or vaccine to the living

India's fascist leader wants to share the knowledge of lying to world. 👇👇👇😅😅

N we still doubting it!

narendramodi PMOIndia ShashiTharoor ArvindKejriwal vijayanpinarayi I am not too surprised. Elections will show the true picture. Modi cannot govern well -- that much is once again very clear. Now it all depends on the opposition and how wisely the cards get played.

Of course there is and was from the start - the uk has been the most accurate by a long way and even in some cases counting cases as covid deaths when they haven’t been directly tbe cause - 28 days from originally catching the virus!!!

Does this mean the world population is decreasing at present?

So the Democrats and China killed more people by deliberately releasing the virus to defeat Donald Trump than the Nazis killed in the Jewish Holocaust.

DrEricDing wow

“but most of the dying has been elsewhere” —— most appalling!

We lost 50M during the 1918 pandemic..... to be honest, we did WORSE than last time. At least last time they couldnt avoid it and didnt even know what a virus was, but in 2020 to let an Epidemic become a Pandemic is UNACCEPTABLE and must NEVER happen again 🤬 F- for humanity

A new study estimates that the number of people who have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. is more than 900,000, a number 57% higher than official figures.

And yet still only 4,636 COVID-19 death in China!

90% of those in N-D-ya

Lockdowns cause death.

infographic shows that China hides close to 10 million deaths from Covid

Damn

this is terrible news

I have traded all different types of platform and it feels like I'm flying blind. It's great to have Samuelleachhfx That is even higher probability of being positive enterpreneur! So to me he is excellent! I would absolutely recommend you.

This is true but another truth is most of the people are dying with covid not by covid. Understand that. 🙏

Aparently all the media’s forgot that there were more people dying of influenza and hunger.....

European in diaspora made pandemie

So only 0.003% of the world's population died lol

Lol..wrong...just because you didn't get the numbers you wanted don't try making them up

I don´t like cookies I like cake...so no RT...

do heart attacks and car crashes count ?

It's absolutely impossible to compare the number of deaths from Covid as there's no international standard for recording deaths.

Very sure that China & India have fudged data, the deaths are much higher than what declared.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Brazilian agribusiness, together with several productive sectors, gave a great show of support to President Bolsonaro today (05/15/2021). There is a coup against Brazilian democracy led by communists from the STF and Parliament.

So influenza still on a permanent sabbatical miraculously?

Nothing warms the cockles of a globalists heart like human misery. Not for long. Fucked around. Find out.

thanks

You're lying ! This is pLaNdEmiC !!

thanks for the information...!

It’s quite incredible how the Indian government continues to hide the magnitude of their catastrophe.

On a population of 7.7 billion = 0.00061038961% on the worst case. Definitely worth the pain the world has put itself through 🤔
