@Stats4Muslims Some context: The 2nd wave of SA Muslim deaths was from 1 Dec to 11Mar. Over that 100 days, we saw 1523 SA Muslim deaths. The 3rd wave started around 20th May. It's 71 days and already we've seen 1710 SA Muslim deaths. Still hesitant about the vaccine? Reminder #AllLivesMatter
@Stats4Muslims There's an anomaly in these figures. SA Muslim deaths don't compare equally to the national figures over the same 2 periods.The 2nd wave saw 29575 deaths. Up to now the 3rd wave has seen 16111 deaths. Even if we go for excess deaths, 131198 in 2nd wave & 76826 in 3rd wave to date
@Stats4Muslims I'm not sure why. Reasons could include: different provinces with larger Muslim provinces hit this time; vaccine hesitancy; super spreader events; #Covid19SA fatigue; genetics. (note that comparison are for statistical reasons as #AllLivesMatter)
@Stats4Muslims To complete the thread, here is the graph with SA Muslim deaths. Unlike national #Covid19SA deaths rates, SA Muslim death rates are almost doubled national death rates over the 3rd wave (again need to stress that #AllLivesMatter)
