From the Financial Mail article, quote, Since South Africa's COVID-19 data is so sparse, the researchers used New York's public extensive data overlaying the percentage of people who died in each age range into a model of South Africa's population. there's no reason to assume that this kind of data overlaying would create a representative glimpse of the actual situation in south africa population densities and distributions are different city patterns are different levels of access to health care are different responses to the virus have been different this may not be a wholly bankrupt way to gather some data for the sake of conversation but as far as i can tell that's a pretty big hole in the model which mysteriously doesn't come up in paul joseph watson's art That's really odd. Yeah, it's really odd. So what this model did was it took the data that they put together and they assumed that on average, because of the older average age of patients with COVID-19, each coronavirus death represented a loss of life of 5.4 years. They then assumed that because of the projected job loss of between 3 and 7 million jobs, quote, 10% of South Africans will become poorer and as a result will lose a few months of their lives. Alex is trying to pretend that this model shows 29 times the death coming from the lockdown as opposed to the virus, but what it actually shows is something quite different. And the reason that he doesn't know that about what he's talking about is because he hasn't read the underlying article about it, and Paul Joseph Watson's article covering the Financial Mail article doesn't paint the full picture.
