According to Worldometer, it's nearly 600,000 thousand deaths right now. It ain't the flu, bro.

Yeah bro sure.....a virus with 98.97% of surviving killed 600k. Colds must kill millions. Meanwhle wear that mask and stay 6 feet apart because though there is no scientific proof it works, sheep follow the plan willingly!

Or it is a very vicious flu, kind of like the Spanish one in 1918.
We have a serious virus going around. Unfortunately, some people politicized it, to get President Trump. Even if they put people in dangers in nursing homes and denigrating valid cures. Apparently they succeeded.
As a reaction, some people on this side are pooh-poohing it. I do not think this is right either.
It is hard to find middle on this. Everything is politized and run by feelings.

Some call it the SARS flu because of the hyper oxygenation demand on the lungs.

You’re correct in emphasizing the SARS impact, but the vax administration doesn’t quite line up with the SARS case & fatality decline.

Appreciate your posts. The data details matter.

The CDC changed its methodology on defining a covid death. Prior if one hand the flu but died of a comorbidity (heart problems, immune compromised, diabetes etc.) the cause of death would be listed as the comorbidity. Today if you die of a comorbidity but are covid positive it is listed as a covid death.

The CDC is not honest. We do not know how many have died from covid. It has become political over many years of left wing infestation.

Again, the numbers for flu for previous years were estimates not based on testing. In 2020, we know what happened. Every respiratory-involved death was deemed "COVID". In 2019, my father passed away from a respiratory ailment that was likely the flu or the common cold. He had many co-morbidities as he was 87 years old. I have no doubt that in 2020, his cause of death would have been deemed "COVID". In 2019, I doubt he even made it into the 34 thousand estimated flu deaths.

And anyway, my point isn't that there weren't a lot of deaths from COVID. It's that the peaks mirror flu season to a "t".
