Please cite a source for 150K, as that's pretty outlandish. Official government data is 30,311 dead here: https://onemocneni-aktualne.mzcr.cz/covid-19

The czech republic, in general, has below average respiratory outcomes due to higher than average levels of smoking and historically high levels of air pollution under communism (they burned brown coal), as well as an older population (1% of the population experiences acute respiratory infections each year). But all of these factors are improving, with cleaner air, declining smoking rates, etc.



I think you're very confused on the context of my comment. The link that this thread goes to is a simulator that mimics controlling COVID spread in the Czech Republic based on player-controlled government initiatives. I'm replying to someone who said they got 150k deaths in the game. My comment has nothing to do with real world COVID numbers in the Czech Republic.


Go to https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor... and sort by total death.

In the first position is Peru with ~6000 death/million. After that there are a bunch of countries with ~3000 death/million including Czechia. And then the number goes down.

Czechia has ~11000000 habitants, so 150K/11M is like ~13000 death/million that is the double of the current country with more death/million and like four time bigger than the other countries.
