It ain't no Flu Bro.
The only thing your graph shows is that the sooper geniuses in the disease tracking world were utterly unaware that this virus had been circulating here for several months with NOTHING being tracked.
The data is so incomplete as to render your graph useless.
But hey, it’s all in a day’s work for Bozo the Modeler.
You can create all the doomsday graphs you want. Every source even the ones I find politically charged states we are over the hipbones. Death sadly is a lagging indicator. There is now credible literature suggesting that penetrance is far greater than thought and there is evidence of circulation since September
Additionally as you hold yourself out as a physician if I recall correctly (ER doc) you will, if honest, recall there was a significant number or no influenza respiratory cases All winter long. Certainly in critical care we saw more cases of ARDS that for all the world looks like influenza but turned out to be negative and had no explanation.
If you are a physician then you know thst given the totality of the situation we likely have treated this disease all winter long.
Your graph is an abomination meant to fit your narratives. Why not show the better graphs that demonstrate influenza like syndrome and chief complaints of cough, dyspnea and fevers are rapidly falling off? Why also are you unwilling to show the data that net hospitalizations are negative st at this point (discharges > admission). That physicians across major systems as well as our nursing colleagues are being furloughed.
You present a graph intended to do the worst of things. Manipulate the data to prove your right not go where the data lead you. At the end of the day there will likely be less than 60,000 deaths, it will follow the exact same curve most pandemics follow, herd immunity is likely close to being conferred (Stanford study, New York homeless shelter study N=400).
Sadly given the preponderance of the data in the context of the historical trend
It is the flu bro.
If you want to reply please remain data oriented as I have.
Oh and additionally there were less deaths week over week during the peak than in the same week last year. I guess your ticket number thst only gets to 2500 max is not viewed in the context of there are on average 8000 deaths a day in America. And these deaths are not increasing that number so I guess there is always that.
Tell it to Hockey Stick McGee...
