Indeed. What is the hypothesis he is trying to test?

A precipitous drop in COPD deaths beginning in early 2020 could indicate if PCR tests for COVID were capturing geriatric COPD deaths . And roughly how big a chunk of “COVID deaths” were actually caused by COPD.

Are you saying COPD reduces your risk of COVID mortality? That’s a complex analysis. It’s more than calculating a simple mortality rate. You have a competing risk. Where are all those excess deaths coming from? Why all the ARDS cases?

He has no idea what is required to do the sort of analysis that he thinks he's proposing or how complex such an analysis would be. No idea at all.

Doc, what I’m suggesting isn’t that complicated. I’m comfortable with mathematical modeling and statistical analysis (in quantitative psychology), so I can take a data set and identify trends and spot statistical anomalies. So instead of being insulting and derisive, help.

Instead of stating misinformation and implying, think. Quantitative analysis in the absence of an informed approach is biased. It’s like running a correlation between cigarette lighters and lung cancer and then pronouncing lighters cause lung cancer.

I would love nothing more than to sit down with a full 2020 data analysis done by unbiased epidemiologist which addresses all of the concerns I’ve raised in this thread. But I’m unaware of any such publication. Has this been done yet? If not, why not? ...

I’ve refutation your claims on numerous occasions. I’ve tried to point out errors in your thinking. Unbiased or someone who agrees with you? Perhaps I don’t agree with you based on the weight of the evidence?

Were you previously unaware of the problem with PCR testing as it relates to accurate data collection on COVID deaths? You haven’t “refuted” that claim. You appeared completely unaware of that claim when I raised the issue. ...

... And the facts show that something like 70-90% of COVID deaths in 2020 were in the geriatric community within long-term care facilities. And almost 100% of such nursing home patients are suffering from COPD, CHF, CKD or ESRD. That’s why I’m interested in that data.

No, you want to cherry pick data to support your narrative and should leave epidemiology to people who know what they’re doing, namely epidemiologists.
