London Marathon stats:
"Only those deaths, or collapses leading to deaths, that occur during the Marathon or within the finish area of the race, are considered Marathon deaths. Seven cardiac deaths have been reported in the London Marathon: five from severe coronary heart disease – in 1991, 1994, 1995 1997 and 2003 – and two with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, a chronic disorder affecting the heart muscle) – in 1990 and 2001. Five successful cardiac resuscitations have taken place (in 1983, 1988, 1990, 1997 and 1998); all patients had coronary heart disease and were subsequently discharged from hospital. In the millennium race, a young man collapsed at the finish complaining of neck pain and died the following day in hospital following a diagnosis of subarachnoid (brain) haemorrhage.
The overall mortality rate from the 20 years is one in 67,414, or roughly one death for every two million miles run."
So, with Boston Marathon 2022, there are said to be 30k in the race will mean 2 maybe 3 people will die tomorrow, if all things were equal.
Add the covid shot to the mix, my guess the number will actually be 21.
This. I'll say 10 deaths though simply because most will have been running to prepare so many with problems will have dropped out before starting.
"Noted entrees dropping out before the race" would be an interesting category.
Also
"Well known ranked marathoners who don't compete because they aren't jabbed"
Good dig.
One death per 2 million miles, so 30,000x26.2=786k miles = 2-3 deaths according to you? Try 0.393 deaths.
Ask the author. I was just quoting.
one in 67,414 is the same as 2 in 33,707
Did Boston Marathon finish? How many raced? How many died.
Jgle is filtering key words so unclear
CNN's John Berman Says He's Doing 'Better' After Ending Up in the Hospital Following Boston Marathon "I don't remember what happened," John Berman captioned a photo of him in a hospital bed after running the Boston Marathon Monday"
1/67k is 0.5/33.5k, not 2.
Bunch of marathons have taken place (with mostly vaxxed running most likely) and the news hasn't reported a ton of deaths, doubt it will be any different for this one.
