Stop comparing CV-19 with the flu and other forms of death. They’re not

Of course it'll be compared to the flu.

The fact that daily coronavirus deaths exceed flu deaths right now will be...

Agree with most of that but younger people being hospitalized seems to be a huge

One reason why the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was so significant.

40% of US coronavirus hospitalizations are for people under 55 per the CDC

They're outliers, but not huge outliers

You mean the country that had aggressive testing, tracking, and quarantining.

Good thoughts.

Furthermore, I find your attempt to speak for the prophet a bit

Amen to that!

I actually disagree with you here

The "why" he made the decision is what people have jumped to conclusions about.

Ah understood, that makes sense.

plus we don't track any other deaths on a daily basis so we aren't used to that

All good, except strangely stats show reduced deaths in economic recessions.

Issue is that people comparing it to the flu aren't also contrasting it with flu
Bandersnatch

Then he can add that context instead of saying, "Stop talking about it!"
gwalker
3/31/20 10:29am
in many ways it's a good comparison.
Belboz
3/31/20 8:55am
In other ways it's not
Sumguy
3/31/20 9:13am
sure. I can also compare a truck and a sedan. They're similar in so many ways.
Belboz
3/31/20 9:23am
People do get hurt from comparisons to the flu and coronavirus, though
Sumguy
3/31/20 9:39am
sure, it may be more deadly but comparing them like I did doesn't hurt.
Belboz
3/31/20 9:46am
Responsible comparisons put them in context
Sumguy

So your issue isn't necessarily all comparisons, but rather a certain type.

Comparing Covid19 to the flu is how scientists claim to be experts. Also...

It's just that per unit of time they don't threaten overwhelming ICU resources.

There is a legitimate moral dilemma with good arguments on both sides.

So a bad Flu season isn't capable of overwhelming our hospitals?

I believe critical flu patients don't need ICU ventilators for 2-3+ weeks.
