    Models are absolutely junk but this thing needs to play out some more.

    We’ll see. But I *don’t even want to think of the backlash* if the death count doesn’t eclipse seasonal flu numbers.

    Common Flu has absolutely nothing to do with this virus, don't know why you deniers can't accept the fact that the flu has a vaccine, if you are fearful of the flu, you get the vaccine, five minute stop at the local drug store, if you are apprehensive about this virus, what do you do?

    If the fraud is undetected, it's unreported, and proponents can claim it doesn't exist, which is a logical fallacy.

    There’s mounting evidence, nay admissions, that plenty of attributed coronavirus deaths may not have even been caused by the virus itself.

    COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” read the actual CDC instructions.

    During Tuesday’s press conference Dr. Birx admitted as much, saying, “We've taken a very liberal approach to mortality.”

    So, do we do that with other causes of death?

    If someone has a heart attack and a cold at the same time, do we attribute the cause of death to the cold?

    If someone had stage 4 cancer and was given six weeks to live, then catches coronavirus and dies in three, does anyone really think the virus is what did them in?

    If someone has a car accident and happened to have coronavirus in their system, do we chalk another one up to COVID-19? We should all be asking why our medical experts are using such a “liberal approach.”

    Could it cynically be to try and justify this heavy-handed response, now that things aren’t turning out as dire as the models led us to believe?

    The CDC estimates that 61,000 people died from the flu in the extraordinarily bad 2017–2018 period.

    It has become fashionable to ridicule flu comparisons, but they are surely relevant, even if it is true that coronavirus is more readily transmissible and has a higher fatality rate.

    For this year, the CDC projects that flu deaths will range between 24,000 and 63,000, and that hospitalizations could surge as high as 730,000 (out of the 18 to 26 million people who are treated for flu, out of as many as 55 million Americans who experience flu-related illnesses). We don’t shut the country down for that.

    The question of when government officials will reopen the country they have shut down for coronavirus presses, as does the question of whether some less-draconian measures than the ones in place could suffice.

    Hopefully, officials will have a better answer than, “Well, our models say …”

    CDC published new interim flu vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season.

    So far this season, flu vaccines are reducing doctor’s visits for flu illness by almost half (45%).

    This is consistent with estimates of flu vaccine effectiveness (VE) from previous flu seasons that ranged 40%-60% when flu vaccine viruses were similar to circulating influenza viruses.
