How to lie with statistics.
Fred, the town alcoholic has the Coronavirus...Fred gets into his truck and drives DWI...
While driving Fred hits and kills a kid on a bicycle.
The newspaper reads: Boy killed on his bicycle by a man with Coronavirus.
Or was it boy on bicycle killed by a drunk driver...What was the real cause of the accident? Just another number added to the statistic of someone killed by the coronavirus
So it sure would be informative to have the real numbers given.
Also...How is it possible for all the people to be diagnosed with the virus, when there is such a shortage of the testing kits....
Take for instance all of the deaths in Italy...Did they die at home, or in a hospital? If most of them died at home, then how is it known they had the virus, or just died at home from old age complications..(For what it's worth, I read where most of the deaths were in northern Italy, and were mostly amongst the elderly.)
Additionally, with all those deaths all over the world, and here in the states, with so many dying over night, then the morgue and the autopsies must really be back logged, in order for the autopsies be listed as the primary cause of death.
All I'd really like to know what are the true statistics of what's going on...
I read about some of the survivors and what they said their symptoms were. But even there I read of variances.
One state, the Gov says stand down. The next state over, says go and visit our wonderful parks.
I'm beginning to think it might be more entertaining to watch a chicken egg hatch than the wait and see what happens next, to whom, where, and when, and WHY.
Just thinking out loud.
