80,000 people in the USA died of the Flu in 2017, and there was no freak out or lock down.

Today Coronavirus has killed 1,307 people in the USA.  Think about that...

It was not an election year with the Democrats out of the White House.

Because we have a flu shot to contain it. We have nothing for China flu.

With all the passing of the movers and shakers from Coronavirus, and the well known data on the flu, I wondered why we never once hear of a celebrity dying of the flu, current or past, news or WIKI. I finally figured out that the deaths are listed as pneumonia or whatever developed subsequently. Small point, I guess.

Makes one wonder if the China Virus got here last year, yes?

Don’t give the government any ideas about shutting down the country every flu season.

I understand that Italy has been hit hard by COVID-19. At least, Northern Italy. For a disease that transmits easily and caseloads growing exponentially, I guess I don’t understand why Southern Italy doesn’t seem to have much of a problem yet. Another thing that makes no sense to me.

And yet I have been called names and made fun of on many threads here by pointing this type of thing out. It seems like at least half the people here are 100% behind our good Governor Dimsley who has the entire state locked down, and declared that marijuana workers are doing essential work, but construction workers are not.

Who cares? Stick to important issues. How many times will Cuomo be on TV today complaining the 2000 UNUSED ventilators in NYC are not enough? I certainly hope they’re throwing any flu patients on a ventilator off to make room for an important Wuhan case.

I've been telling people this for 3 months now. Nobody believes me and aren't interested. People are instead focused on this high profile coronavirus and not on the regular old annual flu that kills Americans (and others) by the tens of thousands EVERY YEAR.

We're spending a dollar to save a nickel in this mass panic attack driven by the media and politics.

Crash the economy to save people who would have probably died, and do, anyway. What's the rationale in that?

This supposed pandemic is manufactured crises / false flag event. I don’t know what the endgame is supposed to be but it ain’t good for us.

I truly believe this crisis was created by the elites / Deep State go allow them the pathway to enact all their utopian wet dreams since none of ths other fairy tales didn’t work.

Global Terroriam (9/11) didn’t work as planned.
Y2K didn’t work as planned.
Global Warming wasn’t working either so they renamed it Climate Change but that hasn’t worked either, even with everybody in Hollywood on board and a smug little c*nt from Sweden.
But, hey! Let’s create a non-existent pandemic and see if that works.

We are truly sheeple for allowing these MFers to do this to us.

My apologies for the misspelling but I’m typing on my cell phone.

Is it my memory or do these CDC numbers keep changing?

It is because they lied. No way did 80,000 die of “influenza.” Most were pneumonia deaths. They just lump them together in the stats.

I did. The flu didn't kill 30 percent of the healthcare workers in China (to date.) The flu didn't kill 44 healthcare workers in Italy (to date.) The flu didn't cause the US Navy to utilize its two biggest hospital ships to deal with the flu. The flu didn't cause hospital overflows around the country. The flu didn't cause healthcare systems around the world to run out of ventilators, masks, and other critical care supplies. The flu didn't cause many US companies to shift from production of their usual products so they can manufacture ventilators and hospital masks instead. The flu didn't cause makeshift morgues and tent facilities to be set up in hospital parking lots.

Maybe if there had been a "freak out" during the swine flu epidemic during the Obama presidency, 80,000 more people would still alive today.

Think about that...

An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last winter — the disease’s highest death toll in at least four decades.

Media's take:

Trump responsible for the death of 80,000 Americans!
