What data do you think will exist by next year that we don't have now? Doctors have recorded those who died with respiratory distress and other Covid19 symptoms, and that tested positive, as being victims -- that data is here now and shows increased deaths haven't been just to co-morbidities not being treated.
Test results are available to those in power.
The data is around, it's just not public because - I warrant - politicians can't manipulate the story if the public has the full data.
- djsumdog 7y agoWe have never had time series data for any other illness, to this granularity. The data is also terribly dirty. The CDC doesn't track flu. It tracks pneumonia deaths, and then retroactively uses surveillance data to estimate the number of deaths from different infections. U Washington also seems to be using entirely different data sets than Johns Hopkins and the metrics for international data is not the same at all.
