    I'd like to issue a correction for 2020 expected deaths in Sweden: 92k or ~6k excess I was not aware that there was a downward trend and it was significant and consistent. Thanks very much to @GidMK and @zorinaq for pointing this out. It was a huge mistake to not consider it pic.twitter.com/yX7F2gag2t

        Do you know where the 1/sqrt(x) transform comes from? Just an empirical relation? @zorinaq

        Haha, there is that. I seem to remember politely mentioning the downward trend and just getting insults back ( https://twitter.com/TedPetrou/status/1339366567784624129 … https://twitter.com/TedPetrou/status/1339333346468524034 … https://twitter.com/TedPetrou/status/1339339311590895618 …). But joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, and all that.

        This is extremely bad thinking. Why do you think 2019 is a trend set in stone. mortality rates are quite variable. you've never worked with data have you?

        It's a good step, though 6k is still likely an underestimate for excess deaths in 2020. And excess deaths in 2020 is in turn an underestimate for Covid-19 deaths in 2020, because there was a negative excess death count in the pre-Covid months of Jan-Feb 2020.
