Per the table above, I wish we would have followed the lead of China (57 cases per million) or Iran...only 929/1m...that is to say, just don't report the true number knowing there are plenty of people who will believe/quote those stats. To answer your questions: 1) flu deaths surpassed by virus? = c'mon, I know you know the answer to that one 2) California? = Reflection of level of compliance with federal guideline AND Cal state population density. The Task Force docs have covered this. In most states, there is a correlation between population density and positive tests. You probably understand that, for instance, with NYC in the center, the large area of influence based on the number of ppl from surrounding areas that go into the city to work and then take the virus back home. 3) flu vaccine? = When developed, docs/scientists are unsure of the level effectiveness versus the strain(s) of flu that will occur in that season. After the season, they have data...it hasn't been over 50% since 2013. People should practice the guidelines during flu season with or without a vaccine. We don't have to shut down the economy. 4) more or less people affected if no shut down? = More. I'll throw in the "even one life is too many and it's God's will," for the challenged and the rollers. Meanwhile, actions have to be balanced with the potential outcomes. It is a high bar to suspend constitutional rights. When you work in healthcare, you understand that people die, everyday you practice universal precautions (virus or not) and most citizens understand that for about 45 states, this is overreach and scare tactics by both the media and the government who want to take another step to ensure people are totally dependent on them. Let me know if I can answer any more of your questions.
