Conclusion

CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season. This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season¹.

If I read this chart correctly, the CDC estimated that 34K people would die in the 2018-2019 flu season. I don't know the actual numbers. Notice, no panic, no mass toilet-paper hoarding, no school and job closings and no forced govt. interference. 1,300 people die of heart attacks daily, 85 die in car accidents daily. I know this is a new virus, we don't have immunity for it and unfortunately in America a small percentage of people are dying from the corona virus, people die every day. You don't cause a national panic over this and close the schools and most businesses where many lives will be ruined and then pass a $2 Trillion welfare package, just sayin'

[ifinnegan]

Yep.

[chris37]

I’ve never been terrified of catching the flu, Coleus. I’ve had the flu once. It was bad.

I am terrified of catching the Chinese WMD. I’ve never had Chinese WMD before, and I’m not interested in getting it.

Hope that clears things up.

[dangus]

It’s a near certainty that there will be 80,000 to 160,000 deaths, even with social distancing.

[Deaf Smith]

It is a experiment of power by the dems.

How far can they go before armed rebellion.

[nevermorelenore]

They are pushing the limits right now...

CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in U.S., highest death toll in 40 years
By Associated Press September 26, 2018

I was looking at this article earlier today. It infuriates me when I think about what is going on.

[JoSixChip]

You must be on drugs.

[nevermorelenore]

Every day brings a new scenario, think I’ll not make those type of predictions.

God is Big Enough to intervene, if we are willing to get on our knees.

How about: according to estimates, between 61,000 to 80,000 Americans died during the 2017-2018 season, the latter being the highest death toll in 40 years. During that 2017-2018 season, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018, (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm) with older Americans dying at a rate of 169 Americans a day, or seven people per hour.

[cherry]

if a 85yro diab, with high Bp, COPD,a urinary track infection, and parkinsons gets the flu, I wouldn’t call their death from the flu, but that’s just me....

[Deaf Smith]

The Dem sanctuary cities/counties were first to order to shelter in place.

The others fell into place from example or following the lead.

In Texas, it was Dallas County judge Clay Jenkins who started the snowball effect.

He is a big power Dem/Lib in Texas.

[Fido969]

You must be on drugs.

Why do you say that, bro? We've had years with 60-000 to 80,000 flu deaths. Why wouldn't it be reasonable to expect 80,000 corona deaths, bro?

[hardspunned]

Are you talking about the flu? 80,000 to 160,000 Wuhan flu deaths, not a chance.

[JoSixChip]

It’s a near certainty that there will be 80,000 to 160,000 deaths

Hey dude, it is a near certainty you are an idiot, bro.

[entropy12]

I agree with you. People like that are at risk of death with the slightest cause. Therefore it seems like a stretch to say covid-19 alone was responsible for their death.

[Its All Over Except ...]

NY Democrat health officials encouraged large numbers of people to congregate during a NY parade in February in “defiance” of Coronavirus.

According to Democrats and the MSM, that probably has alot to do with those numbers from the CDC since NY has about 50% of the cases.

What does the % UI mean?

[Nifster]

Ask for treatment with Plaquinol and a Z Pack

Ask for treatment with Plaquinol and a Z Pack

Yeah....easy, peasy, right?

Just curious....what part of the country do you live in, where this is readily available?

I know of a person (Houston area) that was vented, yesterday. No offer of the Plaquenil/Zpack, that we know of.

Haven’t heard an update, today...so....we’re praying maybe they’ve offered it, by now.
