PROOF:
COVID-Math test (level: 5th garder + - * / and compare bw two numbers):

Here after the curve of the death from 1982 to 2020
the principle is simple:
❶ For 1 dead, U do +1
❷ At the end of the year, U sum
❸ Do it again for each year
It is very simple, isn't it?

The demo could stop there...

But U want to continue?
good
Q: how many death for 2020?

@Pat
So did U get the number of death for 2020?

That is the reason WHY I have not reopen Reuters or AP, since then.

@Pat
❶ Remark: such curve is very difficult to tamper with. There is no ratio, no number U can interpret and U have a little leeway to adjust (a week at the begining and the end of a year).
Why that? bc one's dead or one's not, be at 70% dead doesn't exist. That is as simple as that.

@Pat
❷ Remark: The USA stat based on the same methodology is to be released soon.... for the mid-term....SURPRISED SURPRISED
I think that they will only release upon a short time window (not starting from the 80') to do not show the trend (or the reduce it)...will see
