Here is some of the latest:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?fbclid=IwAR1ON9Ev23dj1cH5vjdGRcKr8g033YM1aV-_9t2IBkz4LQ5yV7X10hMwurE …
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.
Literal quote from Fauci from press conference: "The flu has a mortality of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this." What more do you want?
Literally Fauci in the NEJM two days ago.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS QUOTE Fucking Jesus Christ If COVID-19 has the exact same fatality rate as the flu, or even if it has a LOWER fatality rate than the flu, but it's SIGNIFICANTLY MORE CONTAGIOUS than the flu, then it is MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE
That's what the R0 is that he's talking about in the next paragraph - that COVID-19 has an R0 of about double the flu, which, thanks to exponential math, means it will infect more of the population by an order of magnitude
And that doesn’t even touch on the fact that 40%+ of the population gets vaccinated for the flu, while this is a novel infection with 0% human immunity.
Anyway, no one who could hear the constant sirens outside my window today would compare this to anything that’s happened in the last 100 years.
Ask any of the frontline medical professionals at an ER if this is just the same as a regular flu season and it's only being misinterpreted by media hysteria
