    Belarus has had obviously fake COVID-19 death figures for a long while now, this seems to indicate a massive underlying death toll ping @sTeamTraenhttps://twitter.com/ArielKarlinsky/status/1384130263458873355 …

    #LocalMortality update Minsk City in Belarus monthly figures for 2020 and a quarterly baseline from 2015-2019. Thanks to amazing reporting from @mediazona_by and thanks to @YurkaGagarin for bringing it to our attention.

        It there any data you know of for determining the approx. discrepancy between excess deaths and official deaths by country? Or a list of countries for which this discrepancy is particularly large?

        This doesn't include Belarus, but it's got other countries -https://github.com/dkobak/excess-mortality … - though this isn't a perfect method as 2020/1 has differences other than COVID-19.pic.twitter.com/2cjm025LnK

        All-cause mortality in June 2020 was 40.5% above June 2019 nationwide (http://data.un.org ). That's the latest month available. I guess the person in charge of coming up with the fake number was replaced with someone more incompetent in 2021.

        I know you can spin a narrative to show how it could fit the data, but you have controls that didn't lockdown that have done as well (Sweden, Belarus, Japan) so you know it didn't work. Sorry.
