How is it going for those people trying to make us believe #Corona is hardly worse than ordinary flu? Mortality in New York is double what it normally is. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/10/upshot/coronavirus-deaths-new-york-city.html

Mortality in other hotspots is also way up.

The concept of merely a flu-like lethality rests on the idea that a large fraction of the population has Corona but without symptoms. Well, of 1500 randomly tested people in Austria, a mere 5 had Corona. (Remember the Austrian Alps were one of hot spots.) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/less-than-1-of-austria-infected-with-coronavirus-new-study-shows

Often the same people who deny the #climatecrisis downplay #Corona. They want us to ignore existential risks for the sake of short-term economic gain. With the climate crisis that is equally wrong but more detrimental. https://twitter.com/dana1981/status/1245811469385519104?s=20
