Over 90% of those deaths are Americans.

    Gotta love when people try to fix someone’s bad math by fucking up their own

      I fucked up a word, rhe math is correct for the unit in the headline and I corrected it so so fast my comment doesn’t even have an edit disclaimer.

      Calm down.

        No, 200 x 12 is 2400, or 2.4K annually (if we don’t factor in 90% of deaths and calculate it as 180 x 12). You’re off by a factor of 10. Covid deaths are 60% as common as drowning using that math, not 600%.
