Many of us have said that the seasonal flu kills many more than have so far died of this virus, but with the seasonal flu we don’t see bodies stacking up in morgues, or hospitals installing mobile units to handle the overflow. So there IS apparently a greater danger with this virus than with the regular flu, for whatever reason.
The "normal" flu affects people of all ages, where COVID-19 preys on the old who had disproportionate economic and political influence and power. Congress itself is a good example, it is a geriatric assisted care facility by another name....
“So there IS apparently a greater danger with this virus than with the regular flu, for whatever reason.”
If only there was some method by which we could determine the reason.
It’s moving faster than the flu, it seems to this nonstatistician. That is what has become so frightening. And much of the moving is invisible until it’s too late. So many people just now waking up to the demonic spirit of this epidemic.
Those flu numbers are greatly exaggerated. The CDC wants everyone vaccinated, so they guess how many people died from the flu each year, exaggerate the number, add in the pneumonia deaths, and then give us an estimate.
The numbers we see of COVID19 have been confirmed through lab tests. Next year, the CDC will go back, look at the data, and estimate COVID19 cases and deaths. Hmmm... What will they do with the pneumonia deaths next year? They can't lump them in with the flu this time.
The hospital morgues are not a good indicator. Hospital morgues are TINY. A modest increase in normal flu puts them over the flow. It is normal to use the National Guard/Emergency back up during the most minimal mass casualty incident.
Just a bit of insider information from a guy who had an office next door to the morgue.
