Because a lot of people protest the illegal arrest of Navalny, not necessarily in support of him. Its also an anti-Putin protest. And also navalny is pretty popular here, not sure where you got that info from

You suspect the numbers will be lower, but I suspect in the end the numbers will be higher. Why? Because current studies account for unreported infections, but don’t account for unreported deaths.

You are saying that: its not as deadly as the fucking bubonic plague.

Yeah, we know.

Also, there were bodies “piling up” during peak in March. In Italy and New York afaik

Basically, are some deaths wrongly reported? Sure, mistakes happen. (Even though you have to realise that each doctor is not stupid and probably has some idea what caused it)

But does it mean there are actually less deaths? Hell no.

There are certain guidelines for WHO reporting, I can find them if you want. So, if you die from completely unrelated causes, it doesn’t count. If you recover and then die, it doesn’t count.

Even if there are some % of cases overreported the best way to fight that argument is by pointing out excess mortality stats.

Here’s an article from august 12 saying 200000 people had already died in US, based on excess death numbers.

I agree its “overblown” by libs to own Trump, but it’s IFR is at least 0.6%.

WHO says 0.5-1% infection fatality rate and cites a study from Stockholm that had a result of 0.58% for all ages. The study accounted for unreported cases, but not for unreported deaths. They themselves say that the result is conservative.

Sweden, mind you, has some of the best healthcare and healthiest people in the world.

Other New York study (that’s cited on worldmeters) accounted for excess deaths and unreported infections had a result of 1.4% IFR.

Case fatality rate of the world is still 2-6%. I don’t think it’s THAT unnoticeable.
