@KateSmi99596063 @GrindingNumbers@jburnmurdoch There is evidence that they are underestimating deaths (not intentionally of course): https://t.co/DfCQNryX7Y

It seems the Italian equivalent can only do yearly aggregates https://t.co/hI6PwAbiRs
@jburnmurdoch The real count would be the average recorded deaths in the month of March in the last 5 years vs March 2020 (normalised for changes in the population)
@jburnmurdoch and I failed to see how different methodologies can generate different growth rates. I.e. the growth rate should be comparable even if the absolute numbers are not
@jburnmurdoch Re: large elderly population raises death rate in Italy. Is this factually confirmed or speculation? They might not be testing a large sample of people with the virus
