I think that is using cdc estimates for flu death compared to actual confirmed tests, though i would be interested to see how those numbers actually line up.
I wouldn’t doubt it. If im just feeling a little sick i just hunker down at home and get over it. I only go to a hospital if I think death is possible.
Nope my number above is actual to death ratio. What got us in this trouble they claimed that Covid19 was 10x more lethal than the flu. the problem is did what you just pointed out. Flu estimates to death ratio compared to Covid actual to death ration.
That is why I am showing this number. The estimated flu contracted is in the range of about 60,000 million
Forgot to add thee CDC standard for Covid deaths as of March 24th may also impact the rise in deaths attributed.
Here is the source from the CDC but it was just said by Dr. Birk in the White House briefing
This is remarkable. Dr. Birx says here very plainly that anyone who dies “with COVID-19” is being counted as having died from COVID-19. She admits this is a “liberal approach” to recording mortality.
· Pneumonia deaths in NewYork= Covid even if not tested.
· Asthma deaths, bronchospasm= assumed covid
· COPD death= covid
· Emphysema= covid
· Bronchitis= covid
· Influenza A and B = assumed covid
· Sepsis or any kind= Covid
We can sort this out afterwards if the above cause of death all dropped massively versus previous years. Flu deaths are way down to 24,000 versus last year 61,000 and last year was a very long season that went out past April.
We just don't know if this is killing the same cohort as the flu or if they are being counted in the Cover 19 deaths or if the flu this year happened to have dropped off sharply from previous years for some unknown reason.
Also remember if you believe the danger of this please go out and buy life insurance. Also note they still sell it and rates have not gone up???
What do the actuaries know that the politicians and reporters don't?
Current US CDC FLU Numbers to date 24,000 dead (In 2018 we have 80,000 die from the FLU)
1,303,970 Tested nationally, 247,785 tested positive and 24,000 died
9.68% of everyone testing positive of the flu died this year

Current US COVID 19 Numbers to date 14,696 dead
1,562,201 Tested nationally, 257,986 tested positive and 14,696 died

ya good call. same presice applies. Both diseases see people only getting tested if they show severe symptoms.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf The CDC guidelines instructed physicans to declare a Covid death when the deceased had tested positive or ASSUMED to have died from covid.
