Maybe because nobody is around each other so ALL illnesses are lower right now? Here’s another crazy fact, car crash fatalities are down significantly too. I bet that’s also a conspiracy.

I think the implication is that many people who would have died from pneumonia anyway are succumbing to covid instead. Probably the same is true of flu. Both conditions hit the same people (old and immunocompromised) the hardest.

So, it is a fair question to ask, what are the net lives saved as a result of all this, and is it worth the price.
