Going by this site. Currently in 2020 / 2021 - the expected global death rate for all causes is 7.645 deaths per 1000.
Taking Hungary's covid numbers. 2799 per million. My maths that is 2.799 per 1000.
So that would actually be quite a huge increase percentage wise of 25% increase in death rate.
Obviously. There will be displacement of other deaths. And, as stated Hungary's age pyramid, which is typical of western / first world. But not developing world.
I have no idea about Hungary's obesity rates etc. Then there is population density, health services, wealth etc etc

@rapido I remember reading somewhere and for the life of me I can't recall where, but this generation of Americans is the first in a very long time (ever?) to have a lower age expectancy than the one previous. Something to do with obesity and opiates.
Thats amazing and so sad. And quite extraordinary with medical advances made, you wouldn't have thought it possible

The industrialisation and corporatisation of food helped regukar Americans value quantity and price. They are literally eating themselves to death

@voodoo I was always staggered by what I saw of obesity in the States. And I was probably in the more glam/health lifestyle ones, but Hawaii really shocked me. First time I also saw a lot of fat Japanese (Americans). Then I noticed the typical diet...

I remember that when visiting Hawaii, lots of whales in frilly bathing suits, fuck all hot chicks in bikinis.
Magnum PI was full of shit.

China is fast catching up. Poor diets and stupid work hours. Their age adjusted diabetes rate is higher than New Zealand's now.

CDC: U.S. Cruises Can Restart This Summer — As Long As 95% Of Passengers Are Fully Vaccinated
Per the CDC letter, cruise ships can proceed to open-water passenger sailings without test cruises as long as 98% of crew members and 95% of passengers are fully vaccinated. Instead of having to take a PCR lab test ahead of boarding, vaccinated passengers will be able to take a rapid antigen test upon embarkation.

Interesting how low per 100k India's numbers have been so far, and still are at the monet.
Hungary was pre-selected in that graph. So I looked up numbers in worldometers. According to the worldometers chart. Hungary currently has the worst global death rate so far at 2,799 deaths per million after 2 waves (almost). By my maths, if worse case and the entire world was to have Hungary's death rate that would result in 19.5 million deaths?
Not likely though, based on Hungary's population age pyramid compared to global.
The changes since 31 Jan are striking.

Should note that Hungary are an 'accurate' counter. Maybe a bit 'too' accurate. Excess deaths match, or slightly over, official covid deaths (at Jan 31), according to Economist.
So, they aren't really the country with true highest death rate. That would be Peru, maybe guestimating around the 3500 to 4000 per 100k, if assume some other causes of excess need to be also included.

This article from about a month ago is on India's low covid death numbers in first wave and explores if or how many might be undercounted. The answer seems to be not really, yes, but not outrageously so.
Some interesting takeaways:
-
over two out of every three registered deaths in India occur at home, and just 86% of all deaths are registered, meaning that 14 of every 100 deaths in India go entirely uncounted.(in normal times)
-
Authors of study estimate under-reporting of COVID deaths varies, is in the range of 10-20% in big cities like Mumbai and Delhi
-
Official nationwide data likely to have 2 year time lag.

I have an Indian work colleague who was telling us at lunch yesterday that parts of India is straight up fucked. There's no room in hospitals and it's taking over a week to get the dead cremated. Her uncle passed and the family had to store the body for 9 days.
