Our death toll has actually been rounded down by 5k. So you are officially 4* our death toll.

You have 6 times the population, but we are so densely packed here. Plus we had a terrible start to the pandemic contemplating herd immunity for far too long.

I've been looking, you guys are still at #3 in deaths per millions, the US just dropped from 8th to 9th, as Brazil has just edged u one.

Mexico is catching up to the US and may soon surpass us as we are slowing down.

I don't think it's possible for India to catch up to anyone due to their population size, depth of abject poverty, and lack of comprehensive testing in their slums. They just can't know how many people are truly dying from this. But it generally goes: High Population Density -> High Infection Rates -> Higher Death Count

As sad as that is.

This is all true for a change.

Mexico is pretty bad. I’ve been living in Mexico since February. The City I’m in is doing pretty well. Among the lowest numbers of cases and deaths in the country. But I hear places like Mexico City is a total shitshow and the numbers overall are not good. Likely much worse than the official numbers since it’s not easy to get a test in most areas of the country. There’s likely a huge number of mild cases going untested. The case number is likely much higher than the official count.

Despite all that life is going on pretty normally. Besides around 50% of people wearing masks and restaurants taking your temperature and making you use hand sanitizer when you enter while allowing 50% capacity you wouldn’t know a pandemic was going on. Everything is open. People go out. People have parties. Bars are open and so on.

There’s also the issue that people here are extremely religious and a lot think that all they have to do is pray and god will protect them.

How did I miss this gem, yesterday?

I generally don't respond to you anymore but I'll use this post as an example of why I don't respond to you: you never stop trolling and gaslighting. There's no value added from any conversations with you and you add nothing valuable to any discussion, these days. You went off the deep-end.

From the article you quoted but didn't cite:

Early estimates put the IFR across populations at between 0.6 and 1 per cent. Some thought this would turn out to be an overestimate, but recent estimates are similar.

And what recent study did they link to?

Here's what I linked in my post:

That's literally the same, most recent, meta-analysis, study that I referenced that they also referenced and called "recent estimates."

So when I said this is the latest and highest quality science, I was correct.

Likely, you'll ignore the actual content of my post, do some pretend wins and dancing, put in your copy and paste responses, and nothing of value is added to the convo. Do you see how much I typed up just to point out you were trolling and why it is a waste of time to engage you at all, anymore? If that was your goal, you've succeeded in being irrelevant?

Mexico's been getting worse since February...

Yeah, probably just a coincidence.

Shhh. Don’t ruin my plan.

I was wondering about that. Mexico, based on a field observation study, had the second highest mask wearing adherence in the world. Second only to the Philippines. Yet, their pandemic situation is shaping up to be worse than any country that did not have a mask mandate or mask adherence.

However, when you dig into there research, you can figure out why: obesity is the best predictor of mortality from COVID-19 according to peer reviewed and published research.[/quote]

From the study:

Increased mortality per million was significantly associated with higher obesity prevalence (RR=1.12; 95%CI: 1.06–1.19) and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) (RR=1.03; 95%CI: 1.00–1.06).

...

Rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people.

Mexico is the most obese country in the world, according to WHO (recent as of 2013):

And they also rank #1 in childhood obesity, too.

Try the food here and you will find out why everyone is fat. It’s ****ing amazing.

Also a lot of people here don’t wear their masks properly. They leave their noses out and shit.

I always liked Mexican food.

They leave their noses out and shit? Probably because they want to smell their poop after it comes out.

More seriously, yup, dated a couple of gals from Mexico for a bit, a few years ago (dated them at different times - that was oddly worded). We'd go out on late night "street food" strolls. Food was delicious.

Mexico City and Leon.

Side note: saw one of the most beautiful women in the world I've ever seen working at Sam's Club in Leon. She was 6'2"-4".

Wow. Everyone here is usually so short. Kinda feel bad for her. My girlfriend is about 5’11” and she’s way taller than most of the men here.

Are they really that short? I know people from a range of heights but they are usually between 5 and 7 foot. Would be a funny thing to put a bear next to a penguin.

Oh DDM ❌ how many would your plan have killed.

After refusing to implement a full coronavirus lockdown, Sweden in the first half of this year recorded its highest death toll of any comparable period in the past 150 years. -snip

I'm sure it's just a coincidence and most of the people were going to die anyways.
