      Imagine if someone was to say "COVID-19 hasn't caused most businesses to close, they were all doing badly anyway"

      Because we have economic data to compare pre/post and from previous years, and for similar businesses in other towns...?

      Oh man, if only we had that for health! Some sort of data on how many people had died in previous years, maybe in a way that we could statistically analyze to see if there was a relationship there...

          Just wish the data set went back farther.

          Has anyone analysed excess deaths by ICD code to remove causes of death clearly not related to COVID (car accident, gunshot, stabbing)? Excess deaths due to COVID could be higher if there has been a reduction in other causes of death.

          One problem with anti-scientists is that even if you provide evidence, they claim it's manipulated or made up. An argument not worth engaging in. Like arguing with a 3 yr old. I've had people try to tell me doctors record more deaths as covid to accentuate the problem. As if.

          Yes, that is the point, the only two differences are 1. Human lives are more important than any business and 2. Immoral right wingers care about businesses but not lives.

          I see where you're going with this. The absurdity is painful when I bang my head against the wall. Could it be that 40% of our country is really this ignorant?
