@jonmarsk Indeed, @jonmarsk, we do not know the true scale of COVID-19 mortality and it will take time, much more and better quality data, and careful research to better clarify #COVID-19’s overall mortality impact. #poptwitter (1/11)
@jonmarsk N.B. demographers r still studying the nature + extent of the 1918 flu pandemic. Death reg today, whilst still incomplete & deficient in many countries, is better than 100 yrs ago. But the wide range + uncertainty assoc. w/ 1918 flu pandemic deaths shld give us much pause. (2/11)
@jonmarsk First - we need to remind ourselves that #COVID-19 related mortality is multi-faceted, as described by @AndrewNoymer, entailing direct-direct deaths, direct-indirect deaths, and indirect deaths. And we also need to think about competing risks. #poptwitter#epitwitter (3/11)
