> and comparisons to it "just" being like a bad flu year are more or less correct. We've never had to build temporary hospitals to house 4,000 patients before, even in bad flu years. It's more infectious than flu and it hospitalises more people than flu. People keep talking about the death rate: there are other important things. How many people does it hospitalise? What happens to the people who can't get hospital treatment if the hospitals are full? From places like Spain and Italy we know it puts a lot of people in hospital, and we know when that happens it starts shifting the mortality from the old people who were going to die anyway to younger people. It's not like flu. https://twitter.com/iamyourgasman/status/1241267189048578048 https://twitter.com/DrAnneMurphy/status/1241092471452569601 |
