Why did you put “U Washington” as your source when the link goes to “healthdata.org?”
Is there a connection there because I see no mention of U Washington at the site.

At the bottom right hand corner of the page referenced on reads “© 2020 University of Washington website”
The “Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation” is housed at U Washington and heavily supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In their history, “With initial funding provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the state of Washington, IHME began with a core team of three members.”
Chris Murray is a central player, and when one looks further one finds such as “Racism is a public health issue.”

I am especially fond of their statement, “Total deaths are the estimated number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, including unreported deaths.”
Estimates and unreported deaths, collected somehow or the other.
This is how the game is being played.
