@ponderable saidQuite startling stats, it seems a lot of victims of covid never got the message about it being a hoax or exaggerated.
Seems there is something happening around the world. The numbers for 2020 come up and show a pronounced effect of excess mortality.

Doubling death figures in one year doesn’t leave much room for doubt about the morbidity rate of this virus.
@Ponderable
I've been reading up on some projected populations of various countries this century.
Saw some projections by 2050 and 2100.
What caught my eye was China.
One study I saw projected their population down to 1 billion by 2100. Another projection had their population down to 730 million.
In the 2nd study, Nigeria is projected to pass China in population by 2100.
India will be the most populous country in the world shortly, but they will shrink too, down to about 1 billion.
Many countries in Europe will will experience a decline in population.
Japan's population projected to decline by more than 50% from today.
Africa will experience a population boom this century.
Average age in many African countries is well under 30 years of age, or 15-20 years lower than many European countries.

@kevcvs57 saidCOVID didn't double the death figures in one year. There has been an overall increase of 10-12% ( estimated from protected population figures collected in 2010 ) in mortality in America and much less than that in the world. You're conflating doubling the figures for 1-2 months in some countries as equivalent to doubling the figure for a year...I hope you can see why this is very poor calculation?

@joe-shmo saidThey were comparing a period of eleven months ( January to November )but hey Ho

"There were 229,700 more deaths between January and November 2020 than in the same period the previous year, an excess mortality rate of more than 13 percent, the agency said.
That's not double...but hey Ho.
( In Poland )
"In 2019, some 30,000 people died in Poland each month on average. In November, when COVID-19 cases spiked, the country registered almost 60,400 deaths."
This is double...for one month...But hey Ho
Another thing to note: while certain populations may have experienced negative growth the population of the world is still experiencing very much positive growth.
@joe-shmo saidStill ain't nothing is it and that’s with lockdowns so I trust the

‘it’ll be gone by spring just the flu brigade have put their megaphones away’
And we have no idea if it’s peaked yet, new variants coming out of poor or non existent lock downs areas.
