I don't think you can lump everything together
Why not? Do you think the number of previously recorded deaths will suddenly decrease because we've found a better treatment? These people died, they should be included in the statistics.
- born_a_skeptic 6y agoI edited my comment. I could have been more clear. I should have added that I think it depends on what the creator of the graphics/information is trying to show. If it's a pure death rate comparison, then sure you could lump everything together. However, if you want to show a more real-time comparison, you choose to segment the data based on time.
- piokoch 6y agoI think the point here is that once we learned how to handle Covid, it will not be more dangerous than flu. The main question for me is if someone who got Covid and recovered can get sick again. I haven't seen any answer for that question I could trust. There are some headlines from time to time "got Covid again after recovery", but given the quality of media reporting it means nothing.
