Bangladesh has been a country which has been systematically carrying out demographic warfare for decades
The BDR (army) has been caught aiding illegal immigration many times
The Bangladesh government have also been accused of giving Bharatiya IDs to illegal immigrants. (2/11) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Bangladesh continues to deny their role in such activities. But even in Europe (ex-Bosnia) their demographic warfare strategy has been exposed
Bharatiya govts have been doing appeasement of Bangladesh despite their horrible ethnic cleansing of Hindus and hostile strategy (3/11)

One pattern is visible for Central & Eastern European countries: apart from major towns the rest has a negative population growth
🇮🇹Italy has a negative population growth in nearly every corner of the country including Rome 😬

People often see this and think: “people with less money and less education have more kids—so won’t the future population be overrun by poorer, less educated people?”
No! Because other things also determine a person’s education and earnings—like social institutions and individual behavior. People can be more educated than their parents.

I discovered something new about humans: how parents name their children reveals info on how many kids they’re planning to have.

The map shows where Catholic parents chose distinctly Catholic names (Catholic Index) or traditional names (Traditional Name Score) for kids + their total surviving children as of 1911 (Net fertility). Family size highly correlated with Catholic and traditional names.
Background:
In 1860, a woman in an industrializing nation like Britain could expect to give birth to 6 children.
By 1940, that number had dropped to 2.

2/ The Nerdy Girls are in the business of statistics & public health, so we *totally get* & *applaud* 👏 the desire to put risks in context. In 2019 there were roughly 36,000 automobile deaths in the U.S., each one a tragedy for a family....
3/ And yet, we do not generally recommend not driving to reduce this risk.
We DO create rules of the road & invest in new technologies to make driving as safe as possible, which has more than halved the automobile fatality rate from 1970s to today. 🚗

Fun facts on the 100th birthday of my favorite city — Berlin — which was founded on 1 October 1920 as a merger of several adjacent cities.

Berlin in 1920 instantly became the third largest city in the world, after New York City and London, with 3.8 million citizens — though it has fewer inhabitants today than during its “golden 1920s”.

Berlin has always been a city of immigrants.
During the 2010s, net immigration has been between 40,000 and 50,000 per year.

Q: What is the real death toll due to COVID-19? Are we OVER or UNDER counting deaths? Wouldn’t a lot of these people have died anyway?
A: The death toll has been HIGH, we are likely UNDER counting deaths, & some but NOT THIS MANY.
Let’s talk EXCESS MORTALITY. #epitwitter 1/

What is excess mortality? Very simply, it is the number of deaths above and beyond those that would have been expected based on previous years. 2/
People often have multiple contributing factors to death. There is room for error here and potential for both under and over counting of COVID-19 deaths.

Thanks to @crimmin @scurran_uw & @PopAssocAmerica for hosting an enlightening #Demography & #COVID19 webinar today. I wanted to follow-up with some links to people & resources, some of which I didn't have time to call out in the talk...
First @ikashnitsky & @jm_aburto used beautiful #dataviz to map age structure & #COVID19 risk regionally in Europe:
@FCBillari & the strength of family ties & #COVID19
Some thoughts on a new pre-print from @brunoarpinoFLR @ValeriaBordone @PasqualiniMarta on empirical evidence for intergenerational contact and #COVID19 osf.io/preprints/soca… …#poptwitter @oxfordemsci @melindacmills @rotondivale 1/
In our pre-print from mid-March, we hypothesized that close intergenerational ties may have helped accelerate spread of COVID-19 in Italy from Milan to the older, vulnerable population... 2/
which combined with the high % of older persons in Italy resulted in a high number of deaths. doi.org/10.1101/2020.0… 3/
1/12 How does #Demography impact #COVID19 deaths? In new pre-print, we illustrate how older population age structure can interact with high mortality rates at older ages to produce a large # of fatalities, as in Italy. osf.io/se6wy/?view_on… #poptwitter #epitwitter
2/12 #COVID19 fatalities are hitting older age groups hard. Case fatality rates for 80-90 currently 17.5% in Italy. While these numbers will hopefully be overestimates, the burden on older ages groups is frighteningly high.
3/12 With current concentration of deaths at older ages, COVID-19 deaths will hit older countries hard (Italy has 23% of population >65). Figure 1 compares Italy to South Korea (top) and Nigeria to Brazil (bottom) – two countries similar in size but different age distributions.

Saba Naqvi lets the Islamist cat out of the bag on CAA-NRC. Says this will increase the population of Hindus and reduce that of Muslims in India, particularly WB.
This means she knows that a significant no. of Pak-BD Muslims have been surreptitiously settled in India #Demography

@TimesNow What's the problem if India becomes a Muslim majority country? A few months back, Arfa Sherwani asked this Q in a tweet later deleted.
This was not an innocent Q
Indian Islamists, like their soul mates in Pak, have evidently been working to turn India into Pak. 3/n
