Yes, thank you. I like sensible and factual things to listen to or read.

Thanks for sharing. I couldn’t watch all of it. How does he explain the overwhelmed hospitals of NY, Spain and Italy? I had a hard time finding anything about it in the video. All I heard was that they were hotbeds.

This is inline with the WSJ article I shared before. There is something different than the flu about this, and I believe is the rate of transmission being real high and overwhelming hospitals, or something related with the number of hospitalizations (no death), but not sure.

Flu hospitalization rate (whether you need a regular bed or ICU bed) from estimated data: 810,000 / 45,000,000 (symptomatic) = 1.8%
From here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

Hospitalization rate for COVID:
I can't find only symptomatic cases. I can't find just the hospitalizations. However from looking at this data https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ in the USA, I can come up with some number:
892,800 (total cases, includes some no symptomatic) / 15,042 (Serious/Critical cases, exclude some hosp not serious) = 1.6% (USA)
In Spain, the number is 3.6%.

So the hospitalization rate could be similar to the flu at the end, but it seems that it may be a little bit more. Add to that the fact that it is coming quick in one-two months, vs the flu which is a whole year number, distributed in two seasons.

The other possibility is that the flu numbers we get from the CDC are wrong for being overinflated to justify the flu vaccine. They are all estimates after all.

This is anecdotal, but again, I have never met a person that later on died of the flu, not even asthma. I have met people that have died of cancer, heart diseases, etc...

If the CDC is overinflating numbers to push a flu vaccine, then clearly they are being straight up honest with the corona numbers... right?

Did you watch the video? Or no?

I skipped through it as I need to go to work. It is 1h watch, I watched like 30mins total. I'll watch more tonight. The covid death at least are not accurate. That we all know.
