🧵
1. A new analysis from WHO that estimated around 20million Covid deaths have occurred worldwide was ceased upon by anti-public health commentators, as on initial inspection it seemed to paint a less damning picture. On closer inspection, it didn’t.
2. On the leader board of pandemic responses (excess deaths) the UK came 140th out of 200. Not as bad as Somalia at 141st.
3. At least it was better than the US at 156th, stuck between Namibia and Paraguay. In fairness, fewer people survive to old age in LICs, so that's OK.
