>”Ok flu bro, Washington has had 56 die of this crap in the last 3 weeks. THAT IS TWO YEARS OF NORMAL FLU DEATHS HERE. IN THREE F_CKING WEEKS.”

I decided to check your math.

The prior two years combined, CDC says 95,000 died from flu in USA.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

Washington has 8 million of US population of 330 million, which is 2.4 percent.

Multiplying 95,000 flu deaths by 2.4 percent is 2280 people in Washington dead from flu in 2 years.

58 / 2280 x (365 x 2) = 18.5 days
The 58 who died in washington from coronavirus is roughly how many would have died in 18.5 days, if the flu was evenly distributed across country.

so your estimate is off by more than 50 times
