I was only aware that those figures were the results of statistical models, and not actual data, but I was under the impression that this was due to limitations in reporting standards - something about how cases of influenza and influenza death weren't actually required to be reported as such and yada yada, and so it required estimation. If I'm honest, I haven't dived too deeply into it. That alone doesn't cause me to look at the 400k and think it's any more reliable, as if I wanted to say: "Yeah, but 50k of that could have been from flu!" I don't know if I'm being clear. A person could try to attack that figure by saying, "Well, it's actually less because influenza counted for a ton of it." What I'm saying is if I made that appeal, and it fails for the reasons you point out, it's still possible to doubt the 400k. You've just limited my options!
You dont have to tell me, Im just being a nosey busy body.
Haha. I don't mind at all. It's no secret. I did work in a chiropractic office. There was a time when chiropractice was the goal. It is the reason for my name, but I like the one you came up with more.

There could be 50k flu deaths in the covid number. But you still have to explain the relative increase from the previous year . Which could be fraudulent “deaths” or some back log of dead people but it just doesnt feel likely because too many people are involved in rolling up that data — they arent all orthodox jews so one is likely to spill the beans sooner or later.

It actually sometimes makes me think of chiron, who was also super smart, and kind of a cute horsey character to boot. Not to imply that you are horsey. But it would be kind of neat if you were.
I share with him the cuteness and the frightening genitalia.
I tried to use the least sexually frightening picture of chiron on the wikipedia article. But its hard to find pants for horses. I hope you have better luck in that regard.
I dont even know what that means. Im going to use the late hour as an excuse. ;-p
