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

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?
Then they'd actually lose rights having to be quarantined rather than just guidelines that are causing them to miss out on sports, bars, gambling, etc. Big babies don't even realize that the stuff was starting before stay at home and will continue long after.
 
Why do I need him lol?

Do you really think SD crushed COVID so bad in WV it dropped our projected death tally to double digits—post peak?

If so, I’d like you to have a look at this bridge out back.

Our governor announced SD on March 12, when we had 22 cases. Today we have 27,735 cases, 756 deaths, and this coming Sunday masks will be mandatory for employees and customers alike.
 
Because it would be a false admission, Mr. Earl.

Understatement of the week. Arminius's only preparation is hiding and spinning information. He's so lame about it you know he's full of it before you finish reading his sensationalist bs titles. It took maybe 5 goes after he first showed up to have the guy figured out.
 
The flu kills tens of thousands of people over a year.

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

WITH deliberately, admittedly, inflating the numbers. And deaths...out of how many INFECTED in those three weeks? :palm:

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.

Doctored numbers, no vaccine (unlike the flu), and far more people infected than we are even able to test...YES, OF COURSE that's not a big deal. :laugh:

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.

I'm surrounded by COVID all the time. I have probably had it for months. I've had the sniffles several times. No one with a brain cares, because only morons hyperventilate about the sniffles like it's the Bubonic Plague.

:rofl2:

 
Are you seriously retarded? The fact that the flu has a vaccine and treatment is "artificially lowering" it?

Are YOU seriously retarded. [breaks out crayons] Fewer people die with the flu because there's a vaccine. That keeps the numbers LOWER than they would be for an ACCURATE comparison between COVID and flu.

Comprehend it yet there, brainiac? :laugh:

Really? Where is your actual hard data? You are using CDC estimates for flu deaths compared to actual reported deaths for Covid 19.

You just answered your own question. The sources are CDC, John Hopkins, NIH, etc...as have been posted on this site about a hundred times now. :palm:

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.

Right, and they admitted publicly that those projections were complete trash, and that they had been wrong the entire time...exactly like I predicted. :dunno:

Are you just uninformed or are you trying to resurrect long-debunked misinformation? :thinking:

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?

Again, they admit openly that these numbers are wildly deliberately inflated. Died from a heart attack and you were an asymptomatic COVID carrier? You "died from COVID." That's drastically distorting the numbers, as is the flu having a vaccine and COVID not, as is the fact that far more people have been infected with COVID and not died than we can even possibly test (in other words, if a lot more people are INFECTED during that three weeks than were infected during any three week period with the flu, then the numbers SHOULD look high for that)...and even WITH all these distorted numbers...COVID is still not even as deadly as the ordinary flu.

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.

This relies on a gigantic portion of the population that is not tested for COVID (because 80% are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms)...and on deliberately inflated COVID death numbers. :bs:

You get an A for effort. That's the closest anyone has come to forming a valid counterpoint thus far. :hand:

But sorry. Try again. :cool:

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.[/QUOTE]

 
"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:

Ask the CDC. It's THEIR numbers. :dunno:

I think we're all pretty clear on the answer to this question. Still waiting on a counterpoint. :laugh:

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:

So consumed with petty rage. I enjoy you following me around reminding me how triggered and inept you are. :laugh:

From the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System site, total U.S. deaths for March are DOWN 10% from the prior four years in a row. How does that happen if the sky is falling and we're all going to die?

:thinking:
