More coronavirus BS from msn.com
MSN wants to show us how much more deadly the COVID-19 virus is than the influenza virus, so they employ this graphic:
Does anyone else see the problem with this comparison?
It's in the superfine print at the bottom where they give their sources for the data.
The graph on the left shows the death rates per age group from influenza in the US. The one on the right shows the death rates per age group from coronavirus IN CHINA.
This is a totally BS comparison, given the huge disparities between health care, sanitation, air quality, and cultural practices in the US and China. If they truly want to use real "science-y" data to prove the coronavirus more deadly than this year's influenza, they should show the death rates from the SAME COUNTRY for each one.
I can't decide if this is just the msm's ignorance of anything that requires logical thinking or deliberate obfuscation.
