This seems both interesting and misleading. Three thoughts:

1. I definitely agree with this: "We need to start listening to those who are right and stop listening to those who are wrong." And NYC didn't need 30,000 ventilators.

This is also why I don't take much of what the POTUS says seriously. He's arguably been more wrong than anyone else on the planet in terms of viral severity, ways to competently plan and react, and it magically going away right now.

2. If pointing out that more people have been dying every day than in the 9/11 attacks is fear-mongering, what should we call wall-to-wall coverage of things like Benghazi and large groups of immigrants? If we put threats in perspective, a number of conservative priorities end up way down the list.

3. Left out of the IFR chart: antibody studies that have led to higher IFR estimates while including some problematic ones (namely Santa Clara). For instance 0.86 in NYC. A meta-analysis pre-print gave a likely IFR range globally of 0.5 to 1.
