And just like that the Trumpers* stoped comparing it to flu...

Amazing how fast Trump and his band of idiots stoped Comparing the coronavirus to the flu…
Do you realize the Spanish flu was MUCH worse than COVID...moron. The US had a population of ~ 100 million in 1918 and ~675,000 people died from flu. Now the US has a population of 330 million and 1,100,000 have died from COVID. So 0.678% of the people in the US population died from Spanish flu and 0.333% have died from COVID. So the flu was about twice as bad as COVID. Also the Spanish flu kill 25-50 million world wide. COVID had killed 6-7 million worldwide.


"... 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States...."

So Trump was talking about the SPANISH flu? Why didn't he say?
