Flu Deaths source for 2018 - CDC
COVID-19 Deaths source for 2020 - Covid Tacking Project

For about 1/2 the states the COVID deaths would be a weak to average flu year.

    How about another column with R or D for each state's governor?

    Exactly. If there wasn't a test, the bureaucracy is calling it for the chicom crud. But according to the dems, SCIENCE, demanded a national or statewide lockdown. No damn fishing in eastern Washington and no damn playing of tennis in West Linn. PC politics demanded we put 46 million Americans out of work to protect the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Targeting the vulnerable was not acceptable. Destroying the best American economy for minorities in history to elect Slo Joe so he could save those minorities was the priority.

    Ok Arizona and Indiana. MA and MD aren't actual Republicans.

    We had the seasonal flu this year in addition to the coronavirus. You all seem to forget that.

    Seems to oddly be a "light year" in terms of flu deaths...

    There was weekly excess deaths until there wasn't in June.

    Will be interesting to see what the total excess death was in a year or two.

    Nope. Actually pretty typical.

    Which illustrates the other problem with your chart. 2018 was higher than typical. But, again, we didn't trade the flu for coronavirus; we now have both.

    Pointing out that people still die in other manners like car accidents or cancer is a rather irrelevant fact when discussing the comparative risk assessment or IFR of a disease.

    I agree. Yet suggesting we typically lose 137,000 people (and counting) to the flu would be ridiculous. And calling it just a "bad flu year" when we lose 137,000 to a different virus, and still have 35,000 or so dead from the flu as well, is simply dishonest.

    With people sheltering in place--voluntarily or involuntarily--you would expect deaths to be way down.

    And your chart is the only place I have ever seen anyone estimate that actual cases are 12 times confirmed cases. That seems more like wishful thinking than analysis.

    Could be anything. Don’t underestimate the pull forward deaths for those that would have died from the flu or something else that was minor in 2021 supposedly dying of Covid in 2020 in the over 80 category. Those probably will go down next year.

    The 30-40 somethings deaths in 2021 will be higher than 2020 though.

    If you die in a car accident (or any other manner) and test positive for China virus it's a virus death.

    So if you add the two together, it's kind of like moderately worse than a bad flu year, right?

    The fact that you havent "ever seen anyone estimate that actual cases are 12 times confirmed cases." just shows how uninformed you are on the topic.

    The CDC has 6 different seroprevalance study locations and found actual cases were 6-24 times more than the confirmed cases... Its basically on the CDC front page...

    Western Washington; March 23-Apr 1: 11X Higher
    NYC Metro Region; March 23-Apr 1: 12X Higher
    South Florida; Apr 6-Apr10: 11X Higher

    Maybe someone did this and I didn't see it. If you apply the average amount of testing over the last week and apply that to history of the data we have, this is the "new cases" chart. Not so grim is it.

    data from here:

    The Dazzler is hoping for an assist from the Elam scoring method.

    32,000 dead already and placing sick people into homes is competent government.

    This data manipulation over this moderate virus has reached peaked stupid.

    Ah, yes, the independently collected multi state normalized data that maintain coalescence while being shown together by the CDC are "cherry picked"...

    How fucking retarded do you have to be to double down against what the CDC director is explicitly saying?

    "Our best estimate right now is that for every case that was reported, there actually were 10 other infections," Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the CDC, said during a call with reporters Thursday."

    NPR source: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/06/25/883520249/cdc-at-least-20-million-americans-have-had-coronavirus-heres-who-s-at-highest-ri

    Just admit you were uninformed
    "Redfield estimates that between 5% and 8% of the U.S. population has been exposed."

    Whether he's right or wrong, this doesn't support your argument which assumed that more than 11% of Americans have contracted Covid. Nor does his estimate of 20 million cases in late June support your claim from early June that the number was then 38 million--and you must think it's well over 50 million by now.

    Redfield's comments don't support anything you've said.
