Perhaps, but this provides a more useful basis of comparison for other infectious diseases such as the flu. Now we can compare COVID + pneumonia with flu + pneumonia. Based on a quick Google search, those numbers are different by two orders of magnitude.

I guess this young woman's death (and others like her) doesn't matter as long as the Corona Karens are allowed to parade around in their trendy masks.
In her final social media posts, Groves had written about battling with her mental health amid the coronavirus pandemic.
'Week..6? Haven't left my house but about 3 times and that was just to drive around in my car so I wouldn't go insane,' she wrote in an April 16 Instagram post.
'I don't have a television, so I've had to REALLY just be alone with myself and my thoughts and fears and anxiety in my bedroom without anybody here in Nashville.
'Some days my mental health is AWFUL. I feel completely alone and scared and far from everyone I love and all I can do is keep myself busy and push through.
'Some days are better. I know that the way I feel isn't special because we are ALL living through this separately, but together.
'It's okay to be scared and to have days where you just cry and wear your hair in a bun and don't change out of your pajamas. But it's also okay to take it day by day-like I did today-and have hope. My heart is with you all. ❤️'
I'm standing right there with you my brother. My pitchfork is sharp, my torch is at the ready and I'm ready to rumble.

It is now time to take our power back from the cowardly overlords that think they have what it takes to control us and determine for us whether we are "essential" or not.

I wish they'd make up their minds. Fulcrum tells us that the NYC data will show the effectiveness of the lockdown, but the Seattle Times thinks that not much has changed, and reopening the economy has such serious costs that only a suicidal maniac wants to leave the house ever again.The numbers underscore a sobering reality: While the United States has been hunkered down for the past seven weeks, not much has changed. And the reopening to the economy will make matters worse.
