@5:30 when calculating the prevalence rate, if a few subjects died before July, then you wouldn't count it in the numerator? And then subtract that death from the total population in the denominator?
No... If you start to make adjustments to the denominator (the population) for a single variable that influences population, you would also have to adjust for all deaths in the community, all births, all move ins, and move outs (called transiency). Instead, most situations you will just use the mid-year population as a static denominator.

THANK YOU
Aren’t you supposed to subtract 110 from denominator because of existing cases for incidence?

@ shayan you're right
