Q, I can't get the same numbers you do.
jan-sep 2.39M all causes of death.
2.39/39wks = 61.3k/wk
61.3k/wk * 52 = 3.18 Million
That's a serious error in data interpretation and actually proves the numbers are right re Covid - at least reported correctly.
I have the data in a database, the raw numbers. So until you can tell me why, you're wrong.
Until Q explains how they got that number, it looks wrong, and it's not from the CDC dataset.
very well, actually.
I downloaded the CDC data, put it into a DB and ran the queries myself.
I'm not the first one to point out this error.
What I claimed is the Q either should explain how they got the number they did - or they didn't get it from the CDC data.
The Data I'm using has always been the CDC data. I literally exported it from the page Q provided.
Being Q does not make them immune from errors.
If Q is going to cite CDC as his source for proving CDC wrong - then I should at least be able to do the same with the CDC numbes.
Do you see the problem?
