Let’s start with the first paragraph:

“Stanford professor of medicine John Ioannidis concludes in a new study that the risk of death from Covid19 for people under 65 years of age, even in global „hotspots“, is equivalent to the risk of a fatal car accident for daily commuters driving between 9 and 400 miles.”

Using a fixed measure against a growing measure is ridiculous. Using his methods, for NYC the risk has already tripled in the 7 days since his April 4th date - and roughly 150% for Germany. They also appears to be equating annual fatal car accidents to those for 5 weeks of outbreaks. I wonder how many daily commuters drive over 400 miles per day. That would seem a weird outlier.

“The COVID-19 death risk in people <65 years old during the period of fatalities from the epidemic was equivalent to the death risk from driving between 9 miles per day (Germany) and 415 miles per day (New York City).”

This is interesting:
“RESULTS: Individuals with age <65 account for 5%-9% of all COVID-19 deaths in the 8 European epicenters, and approach 30% in three US hotbed locations.”

Nearly 30% of the deaths in the US hotspots are for those under 65?

Dr. Cuomo in New York called on Ventilator use.. He also limited what Doctors could prescribe for his patience!! You can’t use New York for anything except a morgue! Outside New York City the numbers resemble the Flu!
