Because I feel that shelter-in-place is not justified, I would like to see data reflecting my POV; like pneumonia/flu death rates from March last year compared to covid-19 deaths this March. Especially since there is no differential diagnosis between covid-19 and pneumonia.

From Fauci, 2 days ago. Do you understand what is being said in the area where I circled? We have an economic shut-down, and the disease is not coming anywhere close to pneumonia numbers. (Covid-19 also has no differential diagnosis from pneumonia, which is a catch-all term.)

You don't understand what you were reading It may be that COVID-19 is somewhat deadlier and somewhat more contagious than the flu OR it may be that COVID-19 is no more deadly than the flu but MUCH MUCH MORE contagious than the flu Either way it kills a lot more people

At this point it's an academic argument which coefficient in the equation is the higher number The important thing is that the RESULT of the equation, the number of people dying, is going up rapidly This is not deniable They don't run out of fucking ventilators every year

The total number of pneumonia patients is up, the total number of people dying of pneumonia is up, you shouldn't need to see a fucking graph to understand this unless you think everyone in Italy is just lying about the fact that their medical system has collapsed

If you want to see how anti-vaxer types throw smoke bombs to ignore obvious facts this is a potent example Somehow she thinks that arguing COVID-19 is much MORE contagious than everyone thinks means we should STOP social distancing

And somehow she thinks that arguing over whether there's a bunch of pneumonia deaths that haven't been counted as COVID-19 deaths (which is quite likely) means that it's false that MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING Which is insane Do you think that's something people just don't notice

Where is the proof that MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING THAN NORMALLY DIE. We need more information to understand the severity outside the hype.
