Imagine that. All the evidence is showing COVID was the sniffles, not the Apocalypse

Deaths in the U.S. from the ordinary flu in the last 6 months: 24k-62k

Deaths in the U.S. from COVID since January: 30,985

Not even as bad as the ordinary flu...and we were told the sky was falling. :thinking:

100.webp

You're comparing six months to one.
 
Are you seriously retarded? The fact that the flu has a vaccine and treatment is "artificially lowering" it? The lack of an effective treatment is part of how deadly a virus is your mind rotted boomer! The police need to be sent to your house and just pepper it with assault rifle fire, your are a danger to yourself and others like all rightists. We need to kill people who spread lies.
 
The flu kills tens of thousands of people over a year.

This has killed tens of thousands of people over 3 weeks.

But if you don't think this is that big a deal, then I dare you to go to your local hospital, find a coronavirus patient, and lick their fever sweat.

So put your money where your big mouth is and voluntarily contract the virus to prove to everyone it's not that big a deal.

Go ahead. I dare you. I double dog dare you.

It's real easy to dismiss this from the relative safety behind your keyboard, but I have no doubt you would totally chicken out about voluntarily contracting the virus yourself.

In other words, you're a pussy.

There is no fucking way asshole Arminius will ever take on that dare...no matter how you modify it.

He is all talk...no action.

That is what they all are...talk, no action.

Trump would be having rallies with all these pussies just to show America how to deal with this thing. But there is no way they will dare do it, because they...and their Dear Leader, all know they are full of shit.
 


Flu killed far more people without overwhelming hospitals.

COVID killed far fewer people and Democrats told us the sky was falling.

Comprehend it yet, genius? :rofl2:

Really? Where is your actual hard data? You are using CDC estimates for flu deaths compared to actual reported deaths for Covid 19. The estimates for Covid 19 deaths over 6 months range from 64,000 to 250,000 all the way up to millions if we don't social distance.

If we assume that the high estimate is correct for flu then that means over 6 months the average deaths in a month was about 10,000. Flu rates stay pretty steady for the 6 months. In reality, the high estimate is not likely for flu. Based on the range, the most likely number of deaths would be in the middle of that range or about 43,000 over a 12 month period, which is the way CDC actually calculates flu seasons and this would be a little higher then the average number of deaths for past flu seasons. Most of the cases do occur in the 7 month time period Oct 1-end of April.

We have 31,891 reported deaths from Covid 19 so far in April. That is over 17 days. Which 17 day period saw 32,000 deaths from flu? We will likely see more deaths from Covid 19 in one month than the 6 months for flu as we are on pace to have close to 60,000 deaths in April.
 
Here it is in pictures. When the flu infects 15% of the population it makes up less than 2% of deaths.
When less than 1% of the population is infected with Covid 19 it makes up more than 6% of deaths.


Comparison -
Flu - 30 million infected, 6 million protected by vaccination - 50,000 dead
Covid 19 - 1 million infected - 35,000 dead. (If 30 million were infected we would see over 1 million dead based if the mortality rate stays the same.)

Should be a sticky

"Deaths in the U.S. from the ordinary flu in the last 6 months: 24k-62k"

38K is a big spread, Armpitius. Can't get more specific for ordinary flu numbers but exact body count for Covid? :rofl2:

Yup, they're all pussies. All of them. Big, wet, hairy, sloppy pussies.

The flu virus vaccine is only 55% effective.
 
No one stopping you from going out an infecting yourself ... no one

YES! Thank you.

Conservatives, no one is telling you that you can't go and lick coronavirus patients in order to contract the virus to prove it isn't a big deal.

What the fuck are you all waiting for?
 
Even WITH the deliberately inflated numbers, even WITH the flu having a vaccine (thus the flu death numbers are being kept artificially low)...COVID is not as deadly...as the ordinary flu. Yet we were told the sky was falling. Pointing out numbers that in no way refute this will not get you past this simple, devastating fact.

They are liberals. Incapable of logic.
 
You don’t get the point.

Flattening the curve was supposed to prevent hospital overloading. We’re done, it’s post-peak, mission accomplished. Curve is flat as a pancake.

Furthermore, *it can be easily argued* that it was *never necessary* to put small businesses out of business, furlough thousands of jobs, lay off thousands of workers and etc, in WV.

If you ‘important people’ want to stay locked down, enjoy yourselves.

Exactly.
