Pretty big validation for those of us who’ve been using excess deaths to track the pandemic

Peru has audited its Covid deaths data to address undercounting, checking tens of thousands of death certificates

The result? A ~3x increase, almost exactly in line with FT excess deaths pic.twitter.com/81ylHiaD7J

This is the equivalent of 1.5 Million Americans dying of COVID

The pandemic has been horrible in Peru -- and in so many other places

And around the globe, many countries are in the middle of their worst outbreaks https://t.co/ig9vwQsCJm

KIDS TRANSMIT, damnit.

All those who said— “Kids are practically immune; Kids are “already basically a vaccinated adult”—are dead wrong.

Kids are just as likely to transmit as adults and daycare staff, even the youngest kids, with #B117 variant. Pretty solid study ⬇️. #COVID19 https://t.co/64Klj8UCjz
