Bennett is usually smarter than that. The low death number is because of what we’ve done. Also, flu has a season; this doesn’t. We have to deal with this until we come up with a cure, reach herd immunity, or get an effective vaccine.
Oh you mean like Hydrochloroquine whom the DemonRat politicians, their FAKE NEWS MEDIA AGENTS, doctors, and Hollyweird celebrities constantly CONDEMN because it SAVES LIVES and would END the oppressive lock downs immediately?
The Demonic Deep State agents HATE things like hydrochloroquine because it GETS IN THE WAY OF THEIR HEINOUS PLAN TO UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PEAK ECONOMY AND UTTERLY DESTROY AMERICA AS WE ONCE KNEW IT (A MERE FEW WEEKS AGO!)
I believe the current word to describe that belief is 'anecdotal.'
You are WRONG the death tolls predicted were WITH mitigation, Fauci said that the death toll would be 100,000 - 200,000 WITH the mitigation in place the model numbers were total BS!!!
“flu has a season; this doesnt.”
Do we even know this doesn’t have a season? It hasn’t been around long enough to know. I think that even the experts have said it could be seasonal like the flu but can’t say for sure yet.
“Bennett is usually smarter than that.”
I’m really disturbed by his stupidity. He says the virus is “on track” to kill fewere than the flu did in 2017-18. But that was the worst flu season in about 20 years. And Covid19 is on top of the regular flu, the normal flu virus is still there. And we have drastically reduced the number of people getting Covid19 through shutting down the economy. We didn’t do that in 2017-18. Bennett is not considering the infection fatality rate which is 6 times worse than the flu. And the graph of deaths in NYC

Imagine if Bill Bennett were President and he just said everything was normal. Just ignore the risk, a few hundred thousand dead, get over it.

How do you know this bug doesn't have a season? You don't and neither does the CDC. Only time will tell.
Vaccine? LOL! Do you realize how many deadly viruses there are where no vaccine is available? From the common cold to Ebola, the vast majority of viruses have no vaccine. There is little to no reason to believe this virus will be any different.
