@maxroser.bsky.socialAnd we can get those numbers still lower. Public health for the win.
Show PostCongratulations to the data wizards at @ourworldindata.org who created this elegant tool so you can adjust fertility, mortality & migration rates for any country to see the impact on population sizes & age structures. This is really, really great!! Check it out!! Excellent tool, terrific write up.
Show PostI can't use the usual suspects of UCDP, Correlates of War, and Project Mars because those don't look at the overall death toll. This would be for a bird's eye visualization, so the estimates could be (very) rough. Even tolls for the 20 deadliest conflicts of the last 200 years would be great.
Show PostHey Bluesky hivemind! What are the best data sources for the overall death tolls of wars? So not just dead soldiers, but also civilians, and deaths from disease and starvation due to the fighting. Are Necrometrics and Wikipedia as flawed as they seem — or do they actually hold up to some scrutiny?
