Will Covid-19 infection kill more people than tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancer globally in 2021?
Market Rules
According to the World Health Organization, cancers of the trachea, bronchi, and lung cause 1.7 million deaths per year worldwide.
Coincidentally, in 2020 COVID-19 also caused about 1.7 million deaths around the world. However, with the arrival of vaccines, this scenario may be different in 2021. If the number of deaths that occur worldwide as a direct result of COVID-19 infection in 2021 is greater than 1.7 million, this market will be resolved as "Yes ".
This market will be resolved based on official statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO). If, by January 5, 2022, WHO has not committed itself to a definitive number of deaths from Covid-19, Futuur reserves the right to use data from another reliable source that provides an official count of deaths from Covid-19 - as the Center for Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE) at John Hopkins University (https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6) - to resolve this market.
