Yep, CCP/China fatality data is crap. (Multiply their #’s by between 100 & 150x...data should be similar to India).

Our USA “per capita #’s” look worse than 3rd world countries due to better record keeping/and way more COVID testing per capita.

For “seriousness in the US” COVID-19 is still only the “#2 All-Time Flu Pandemic”, here is the chart I made:


Top USA Flu Pandemics:

1. 1918 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 103,208,000
675,000 Spanish flu fatalities (est.) = 0.00654 fatalities per capita

2. 2020 USA COVID-19 Pandemic as of 01-08-2022:
USA Population: 332,770,000
858,978 COVID-19 fatalities = 0.00258 fatalities per capita

3. 1957-1958 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 171,984,130
116,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000675 fatalities per capita

4. 1968-1969 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 200,706,052
100,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000498 fatalities per capita

USA 1918 influenza pandemic = 2.53 times worse than COVID-19 pandemic.
USA COVID-19 pandemic = 3.8 times worse than any prior USA flu pandemic.

I haven't the time this evening, but it would be interesting for us both to add in the HIV/AIDS cumulative deaths, for I believe they come in second in the last century.

I find this important as Fauci was involved in that as well, and has continued to be.
