You have to look at morbidity rates, who died and in which age groups, and where there accompanying causes of death: Meaning, was CV-19 really the cause of death?
That is the issue. There was and is a financial incentive to cite CV-19 as the cause of death when in fact it may not have been.
Look at the numbers in Minnesota: 79% of of suspected CV-19 deaths are at LTC and elder care facilities. The average age in over 80.
Testing is up so it is natural that more positive cases result. Remember the models thought the real number of cases was 16 times the know positive cases because CV-19 often has no symptoms in those affected. It is very informative that as the sports leagues begin to ramp up and test evryne, there are positive cases in asymptomatic people that were not aware they had CV-19.
As I wrote earlier, a good friend of mine has a son flying off the TR - he tested positive and was shocked.
Also, I wear all the gear, wipe everything down, social distance, etc. I simply want clean unabridged numbers. That is what I do.
I still help at the LTC facility my wife's mother is in (zero positive cases, btw, they did great work early) so I need to understand the risks...harder to do with junk numbers.
No politics.
