This is a react to a different response. The tiny phone screen makes it difficult to keep track. Will fix at desktop tomorrow.

I tell ya what. Go visit hospitals overwhelmed by CV19 patients... where there aren’t enough masks or even beds, much less respirators; not enough medical staff, where medical staff are dying from the virus. Go talk to the people at the morgues overflowing with bodies... Then ask your stats what you are missing, what questions you are failing to ask.

This is not like any other flu. For one, most flu deaths are spred out over 9 months and our medical system is prepared to manage it.

It is NOT prepared for THIS.

You are failing to see what’s really happening. Your carefully chosen number batches are blinding you to reality.
