+61,719 NEW CASES
137,403 TOTAL DEAD
Tragic, and its not "just a flu," yet the all-ages severe long-term COVID-19restrictions remain unprecedented in proportion to its threat. The Asian flu pandemic of 1957-1958 resulted in a estimated 116,000 deaths in America, when at about 173,000,000, the population size in 57-58 was close to half of what it is now (330,541,000, rounded figures). Meaning that not only was the infection death rate much higher than for COVID-19, but there would have to be about 200,000 COVID-19 est. deaths to be comparable to the Asian flu as regards percentage of population. The 116,000 deaths in America to the Asian flu was for the whole year, yet even if we reach about 200,000 deaths (we pray not) for COVID-19 then that type of equality would still mean that the extremely restrictive all-ages long-term response to COVID-19 simply has no precedent in American history, except to a degree with the far more deadly 1918 flu (yet in which baseball was still played) for which up to 675,000 deaths are attributed, or 0.66% of the population.
Ok doomed... what are the cases in the USA?
3 million
135,000 deaths. Under 5% death rate ain’t scary bad.

You’re gullible to believe what the government tells you are the numbers, but you like to be scared and controlled. That’s obvious.
