Notre Dame v Florida State

[Drunken Irishman]

77. You just said deaths are 2x last year's total despite cases being 4x higher.

That means, despite more cases, fewer people are dying overall.

Of course more people infected means the possibility of more deaths but the amount dying is still fewer than the comparable total of positive cases.

If we're 4x more infected at this point compared to last year, it's better that deaths aren't also 4x higher. It means fewer are dying in terms of total people being infected.

Ideally, we'd get that number to zero. But that isn't going to happen...no more than we've ever gotten the flu deaths to zero. The best thing we can do is continue to keep deaths dramatically lower than active cases because it's likely we're going to see more positive cases.
