@ArielKarlinsky Technically there is no mass function, since you need integer units for Poisson. But you compute a Poisson, use that for PDF, then say if deaths is X and total pop is T and Poisson parameter is \lambda, use mean \lambda T and variance lambda/T^2. Otherwise, Normal approx. — PolitiTweet.org
