I have said something similar and here the fuck I am. How many people died from the flu last year? Is whatever number you can provide a 100% absolutely accurate number? What might that number be if we had give the flu the same attention every year that we have given to covid? You dumb fucking pricks say the most stupid shit.

Of course there isn't an accurate number for the flu. It is based on estimates from the death rates during flu season compared to death rates not during flu season. It is easy to look at how many people die per month. CDC keeps those records. During flu season the deaths per month go up by about 10,000 - 15,000 compared to other months. They then estimate that most of those deaths are likely the result of flu since there is no other reason to see such a large increase.
The problem you have with your willful ignorance is when you look at the current deaths per month compared to previous years, it would seem that Covid deaths are likely being undercounted by about 10,000 to 15,000 per month since the current deaths are that much above previous time periods even after you subtract the deaths attributed to Covid. As of July 31, we have about 180,000 more deaths than the average of the previous 3 years and that is with many of those deaths not yet submitted to CDC to be counted.
I am open to hearing your rational explanation for why there are so many excess deaths since you don't think they are the result of Covid. Is there another disease? Are we under constant attack by terrorists? Are Democrats committing suicide at a great rate in order to make Trump look bad? What is your explanation?

Then youre a dingleberry. I am not conflating anything I am talking numbers because you shitheads talk numbers all the time and another shit head poster just said we're headed to 200,000 so don't have a hissy fit at me. Answer the question i asked if you have the stones or the brains.

I trust Americans at state and federal medical agencies to do the best they can to obtain an accurate count. That's why, in all likelihood, the current count is low and an accurate count won't be known until this is all over when reports and cases are thoroughly analyzed. This is still a novel virus, not just another case of the flu bug

In the five months since Darth Omar was giggling about only 61 deaths, over 180,000 Americans have died.
Actually, it’s probably well over 200,000 deaths. This article talks about deaths in excess of normal. Those excessive deaths have followed the wave of COVID across the country almost exactly. And it was written a couple weeks ago. The bottom line is that the current 180,000 is a substantial undercount.
