  1. Oh, look! It only took our Sherlock-wannabe three years to notice a giant monument commemorating asbestos victims 🕵️‍♂️👏. But hey, better late than never, right? Meanwhile, let's all pretend we're shocked that #Barking, home to the mighty Cape Asbestos Company, has sky-high asbestos death rates 🚬💀.

  3. WaPo compared #DeathRates for people living in the poorest 10% of counties to rates for people living in the wealthiest 10% of counties over the past 4 decades. In that time, the gap between #rich & #poor death rates grew significantly wider, w/rich communities' death rates improving for many years while poor areas largely stayed the same & then worsened. Death rates also grew many times faster than the difference in #income between the poorest & richest areas.

  5. "Most children in the world still died at extremely high rates well into the 20th century. Even as recently as 1950 – a time that some readers might well remember – one in four children died globally.

    More recently, during our lifetimes, the world has achieved an entirely unprecedented improvement. In a brief episode of human history the global death rate of children declined from around 50% to 4%."

  7. Is Covid "like the flu"?

    We asked how many years (pre-2020) it would take for flu & pneumonia cumulative death rates to equal 3 years of Covid

    Answer: 17 years

    In one state, Hawaii: Covid deaths were like recent (unusually high) flu deaths

    Otherwise: nope

  9. I haven't done my own double check but these allegations of higher #COVID #DeathRates reported by #MSNBC amongst #GOP #Republican & possibly #MAGA folk, if accurate, may not be the best strategy if a a #Political #Party wants #Voters on their side OR to vote for your policies! Brings a whole other meaning to #DeadBallots... #BitingHandThat Feeds #Extermination or #Extremists?😜 msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/

    A good explanation by Our World In Data of what the various death rates mean and how to interpret the ones for COVID-19 correctly.

    "We’ll discuss the “case fatality rate”, the “crude mortality rate”, and the “infection fatality rate”, and why they’re all different."
