You guys need some perspective, how many people have died this year from flu, diabetes, car crashes, suicides, allergies?
It’s only low because a strict approach from governments has kept it low.
If it wasn’t contained then you’d get a situation like the rest of the world over the last 18 months.
How do we know the pandemic would’ve caused more deaths per usual and not just ones that would’ve happened due heart disease, diabetes, the flu etc?
Excess Mortality.
It was far greater than the previous 5 year norm in basically every other nation, and nothing to suggest Australia wouldn’t have been similarly affected.
Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
