Of course it is because ANYONE who dies in NY now is because of CV19 didn’t you get the memo!!!
Indeed - unlike COVID19, much of the population is not immune to the flu as it is new and we have no prior exposure to the flu, there is no vaccine for the flu that a significant portion of the population gets like there is for COVID19 that makes much of the population further immune and therefore unable to spread it, and the average hospitalization rate of 4 days for the flu is far more taxing on the healthcare system than the 14 day hospitalizations for COVID19 sufferers. Unlike the flu, COVID19 has not caused nations to have the take the unusual steps of leaving many patients to simply die because the number of sick patients is overwhelming the ability of the healthcare system to treat those getting sick at one time due to far more rapid spread due to almost complete lack of immunity. In addition, unlike the flu, COVID19 has not caused nations to have to rent out large warehouses and call in for military assistance because they are being overwhelmed by the volume of dead bodies.
Yes, that is sarcasm...but with a point to it.
Indeed - and the hospitals are always so overwhelmed like they are now on a regular basis. Nothing unusual about it. Nothing to see here, folks, move along!
They are now formulating their argument to claim any success of social distancing in slowing the spread of the disease is just proof it was never needed. There is no reality with these people.
Actually only a very few hospitals are overwhelmed in a very few districts MOST of the hospitals in NY are not overwhelmed at all!! I am in CA. we have a population of 40 million with 12,000 cases, 247 deaths our hospitals are no where near being overwhelmed not even close!!
Meaning since most are not part of perhaps the Half of Coronavirus Carriers who Show No Symptoms 50% who do not know they have it, or the est. 80% of people who get Covid-19 experience a mild case [WHO said the same] – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment, then,
Rather than a shorter season of initially more deaths in a shorter time followed by recovery, once the captives are given liberty then many will finally get the virus and develop immunity, but a few will die, mainly the aged and infirm with complications. And so the media will be able to posts its daily head count of such (unlike they do with the 90 people who normally die per day in motor accidents) in order to impugn the President and use it to prevent his reelection.
The solution is to let all go back to school and word, except those over 65 and or with health issues that makes them especially vulnerable to complications, and ride it out as is done with the typical flu.
Thanks, but which renders everything before it obsolete every few minutes, and to make a chart as i did then I need a static list of numbers for a few hours.
My post wasn’t meant to challenge your numbers but rather to dispute another poster who somehow claimed that Covid-19 had killed more than the flu.
Wow, and that season started in October
Let’s see how things turn out in the next few weeks. Going to be a lot of egg on Fearper races.
Right, this data compares people who had the flu for 3 weeks and died compared to people who just began to show symptoms of coronavirus. Apples and Oranges all this crap until the disease has run it’s course. Talk to me in 2 years, meanwhile, this fantasy that this is no worse than flu is completely out of control. Nursing homes don’t get plowed over by the flu, nurses and doctors are saying they are overwhelmed, did the DNC buy them off to?
I can’t wait to see the articles on the FEMA camps and Obama declaring himself President for a 3rd term to return.
Doomsday porn fetishist.
