WFoL, Do you believe the Covid-19 death numbers when you have this going on? Did you even read the article I posted? ***** When reports about the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 began circulating earlier this year and questions were being raised about how the illness it causes, COVID-19, compared to the flu, it occurred to me that, in four years of emergency medicine residency and over three and a half years as an attending physician, I had almost never seen anyone die of the flu. I could only remember one tragic pediatric case. Based on the CDC numbers though, I should have seen many, many more. In 2018, over 46,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. Over 36,500 died in traffic accidents. Nearly 40,000 died from gun violence. I see those deaths all the time. Was I alone in noticing this discrepancy? ***** It's intellectually dishonest to question the COVID-19 death toll, which is based on actual deaths, but take all the other numbers you present as gospel. Every statistic, every number, has a context. Control (or remove) the context, and the number loses its meaning. You might as well just make up the numbers out of thin air. Tenchusatsu
