Oh, look! It only took our Sherlock-wannabe three years to notice a giant monument commemorating asbestos victims 🕵️♂️👏. But hey, better late than never, right? Meanwhile, let's all pretend we're shocked that #Barking, home to the mighty Cape Asbestos Company, has sky-high asbestos death rates 🚬💀.

We live in a beautiful and diverse small desert community. We are X-gen teachers, so our incomes plus the low cost of housing put us in the normative middle class. Same for many of the late career and retired boomers here, solidly middle. There are millennials (and poor #boomers.) With exceptions proving the rule Gen Y live in poverty with their children. They don't have jobs that provide health care. And there are drugs and rollovers. #USpol #USpoverty #deathrates

WaPo compared #DeathRates for people living in the poorest 10% of counties to rates for people living in the wealthiest 10% of counties over the past 4 decades. In that time, the gap between #rich & #poor death rates grew significantly wider, w/rich communities' death rates improving for many years while poor areas largely stayed the same & then worsened. Death rates also grew many times faster than the difference in #income between the poorest & richest areas.
"Most children in the world still died at extremely high rates well into the 20th century. Even as recently as 1950 – a time that some readers might well remember – one in four children died globally.
More recently, during our lifetimes, the world has achieved an entirely unprecedented improvement. In a brief episode of human history the global death rate of children declined from around 50% to 4%."

I haven't done my own double check but these allegations of higher #COVID #DeathRates reported by #MSNBC amongst #GOP #Republican & possibly #MAGA folk, if accurate, may not be the best strategy if a a #Political #Party wants #Voters on their side OR to vote for your policies! Brings a whole other meaning to #DeadBallots... #BitingHandThat Feeds #Extermination or #Extremists?😜 https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/republican-war-on-covid-science-vaccines-shows-in-higher-death-rate-from-covid-157525573615

A good explanation by Our World In Data of what the various death rates mean and how to interpret the ones for COVID-19 correctly.
"We’ll discuss the “case fatality rate”, the “crude mortality rate”, and the “infection fatality rate”, and why they’re all different."
