What you are claiming is simply not true. Based on the numbers IN THE ARTICLE YOU ARE COMMENTING ON, the fatality rate is nearly 3 percent (2.92%). The fatality rate for the seasonal flu in 2019, based on CDC data, was .10%. That means that the fatality rate for Covid-19 is THIRTY TIMES HIGHER THAN THE RATE FOR THE FLU. 34,000 people died of the flu last year in the US, again, that is date from the CDC. Four times that number have died from the coronavirus in the last 4 months. Feel free to point out any numbers or math that I got wrong.

Actually, you can’t. That way leads to death. On the other hand, no cities have been burned down so it must have been a hypothetical conjecture and conclusion.

I might also mention not every demonstration is a riot, not every participant is a thief or an arsonist.

David still for truth

Flu regularly kills 126,780 Americans (and counting — still killing)? And from 2,464,404 known infections.

Would it do any good to point out this not true? Probably not. (Won’t stop me, though.)

“CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.” https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html#:~:text=While%20the%20impact%20of%20flu,61%2C000%20deaths%20annually%20since%202010

Thus, COVID-19 is already more than ten times as deadly as flu in the low years with
just 27% as many infections, more than twice the highest when there are more than 18 times as many flu cases.

Is there some political reason to pretend COVID-19 isn’t worse?

David for truth

Probably Pensacola because of zip code.
