So reading that I see 245K combined deaths from Flu, Pneumonia, and Covid since February. 60% were from Covid, 3% were from the Flu, and the other 37% are from pneumonia not attributed to the flu or pneumonia (Most elderly pneumonia deaths are typically from bacterial infections of the lungs I believe.) Is that correct? It looks like 65K of the pneumonia cases are covid positive, at which point it is assumed the coronvirus caused the pneumonia?
I know you said you are presenting the data, but are you hinting that covid is 20X deadlier than the flu? If so, its not a fair comparison. We have not hit flu and cold season nationally yet. At that point flu deaths will likely increase, but covid could as well. So we really don't have enough data to make any judgement. If common sense would have prevailed in the beginning and NY and other states had protect the elderly better, it would not likely be that big of a gap. So I would assume generally speaking the flu is more dangerous than Covid, we just have 100+ years of understanding better understanding how to identify, vaccinate, and treat influenza... only about 6 months with covid 19.
Good data none the less.
