Total influenza deaths from Oct 1st 2019 to Mar 21st 2020

CDC is estimating between 24,000-62,000 deaths.

Now keep in mind a portion of this was under the same circumstances and self isolation we are doing now.

Now I'm NOT downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic I'm just trying to put some perspective to it.   I'm not advocating changes to self isolation or anything.  At this point I fully support the efforts to stop the spread.

In that just short of 6 month period we lost on average 4,000-10,000 people a month to the season flu.   I'm really surprised our HC system can keep up with that if most of them required ICU/Ventilators.

Yes.....barefoot turd waffling through the shower drain takes too many repetitions and get's up between the toes.  We should do a pamphlet of some sort.

Here's the problem with that.   If 20,000 people end up dying NOBODY will heed their warnings next go around.   I don't like these predictions on total deaths.  I get they serve a purpose of scaring people into compliance but has serious consequences if they are wrong.  IMHO there is a better way to convey the serious nature of what we are facing.

Of course I’m following guidelines. I’m just not buying most of this bullshit. You go ahead and gobble it up though, that’s what cracks me up.

The government, media and corporate medical industries are all proven liars and you know it. Not questioning their narrative is what’s fucking “bizarre”.

I’m one of the few that is smart enough to know I don’t know what’s actually going on for sure. But y’all keep pretending you do, your masters would never lie or misrepresent anything. :bc:

Well I think it was another massive theft so... They just needed a reason to do it and just blowing up on their own wasnt going to cut it this time.

What’s truly bizarre is your constant butthurt over an opinion I have. You may want to reflect on why.

the bubble was there, everyone saw it. Economy was "growing" and fed was cutting rates? Ummm sorry something is not jiving with that analysis. And dumping over a trillion into the repo markets was the tell tale sign that things were not fine on the horizon and now they are bringing out the dump trucks.

Now it's butthurt...again you assign   positions like a champ. What I reflect on is how people that downplay and discount this virus put everyone else at risk .

I will make no claims or conspiracy theories just yet but can one think of a better path to worldwide socialism than a couple years of continuous or multiple virus' like this?   I can't. :pc:
