In the 80k article, I noticed the claim that the Ukraine war had killed ‘hundreds of thousands’.
Looking over various estimates collected on Wikipedia, as far as I can tell, it is around ~100,000. Is there a reason to believe it is much higher than this?
I felt uncertain whether to write this comment as it feels very pedantic, but I think making sure we get small details right is important to be credible about the speculative risk estimates that can’t be easily looked up.
Thanks for catching that, you’re absolutely right. That should either read about 100,000 deaths or hundreds of thousands of casualties. I’ll get that fixed.
