No - it doesn’t justify it. And these types of numbers and more should be analyzed and published comprehensively. A current problem is that several places (NY, NJ, Quebec etc) completely screwed up dealing with senior residents earlier this year, resulting in a high number of deaths reportedly due to covid19. This scared everyone into believing they’re were all going to die. Now with ramped up testing available and the corresponding increase in positive results (not cases as usually reported), everyone is freaking out. If only folks could use their brain a little and sort thru all the garbage information we’d be in a much better situation.
