ShadowHawk posted:Yeah the only reasonable way to do this is by excess mortality stats that's still going to need a lot of expert work to figure out, as actions taken have had a lot of other effects as well. a notable example is that in sweden, despite the lack of a hard lockdown, the seasonal flu which was just getting going was by all appearances fully stopped within a week or two from social distancing precautions.

yeah there are fewer traffic fatalities, fewer deaths from other communicable diseases, but maybe more deaths due to delayed treatment or people shy of going to the hospital. plus whatever covid throws at us. it’s definitely a useful exercise and the fact that you can see clear excess deaths means that this is an extremely serious disease. i guess what excess deaths gives you is “given the boundary condition of X covid-19 cases at the start of the crisis, what is the total effect of the interventions undertaken by a country”, which is clearly pretty useful.

and it'll be nearly impossible to tally the total death toll of the whole thing, factoring in the whole bringing-a-nominally-operating-medical-system-to-its-knees thing and all. lotsa people are dying of non covid poo poo because of covid. its hosed up

yeah; we're never going to know the full extent of what happened in some states / countries, places like georgia and florida. which is unfortunate as otherwise we'd have much better data for researchers

allegedly florida did something shockingly smart by not allowing hospitals to toss COVID19 cases back into nursing homes. unlike new york that forced nursing/retirement homes to take them.

FMguru posted:my benchmark has been "what civilians in continental europe had to endure from 1938-1946" the oldest living generation in china went through a whole lot that’s unfathomable to me. basically, a brutal foreign invasion, massive famines, civil war, a violent revolution, an even bigger famine that’s the greatest famine in human history, the cultural revolution, and that just brings you to the late 70s. the country has been changing since then so fast it must be almost unrecognizable by now. it’s nuts to think about

anyways i am kind of opposed to comparing this to ww2 or nam or anything else because it is a different type of terror. an invisible undetectable death cloud is not the same as bullets and planes and missiles. i'm not saying one or the other is lesser but this is difficult to parse for most of us

Yeah plus its not a competition. Those comparisons are mostly helpful in getting people to understand how bad something might be, but anyone who'll ever be convinced already is.
