@eladar saidWe’ve got a reasonable vaccine response for the flu and oh I’ve got an idea, why don’t we have another world war because we survived that too.
I am simply comparing deaths.
We survived then and today's numbers are nothing compared to those.
What’s obnoxious about your stance, along with some others on here is that like trump your only concern for covid is how it effects his election hopes.
He will lose because he constantly tells lies about covid and he’s still doing it now.
Your the pansy who cannot handle lockdowns.
-Removed-The Spanish flu ravaged its way around the world because of poor diet and hygiene. Do you think that they wouldn’t have stopped it if they could of. The criminality of allowing and even encouraging covid to rampage through populations unchecked will be judged in hindsight.
But your probably right about covid being a taster. That’s why you should forget about going back to the old normal and look for an acceptable new normal. The sooner we bite this bullet the better for our health and economies.
Speaking of COVID deniers, add Donald Jr. to the list:
"Donald Trump Jr says Covid deaths 'are almost nothing'.
Speaking on Fox News on Thursday night, Donald Trump's eldest son claimed that deaths from coronavirus are now "almost nothing" in the US. On Thursday another 1,049 people were reported to have died from Covid-19, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
Donald Trump Jr was criticising the focus on the daily rise in infections - which reached 85,000 on Thursday - and said instead the US should focus on deaths."

Right, so let's focus on deaths. 1,000 a day. I leave it to some stable genius here to do the math and tell us how many more Americans will be dead after a year at that rate.
@moonbus saidI wonder if Donald Trump would be so happy to be America's authoritarian if more people referred to his administration as "a death cult".

How many deaths?
Percent of population?
@Eladar
So do you still say it is nonsense 260,000 people die from Covid 19?
Also, did you EVER hear Trump say a WORD of condolence or talk at all about the folks who have died of C19?
That would be a BIG no because he has ZERO empathy, that is not in his makeup.
He is interested in ONE person, Donald Trump.
A GREAT characteristic to run a government.
Don't reveal taxes, put down a journalist BECAUSE of his disability, mocking him in front of millions of people.
Trump has failed in almost all his businesses and because of the Trump cult, well ALL business folks lose companies, just part of the game.
But not like Trump. He lost companies because of his absolute incompetence to run ANYTHING and if it wasn't for daddy saving his ass time after time to the tune of near half a billion dollars, he would have been in the poor house.
But of course THAT is fake news to you, right?

What is percent of population killed by the virus?
What is the average age of death?
@Eladar
In other words, they are ALL just numbers on a page, who gives a rats ass about the dead.
YOU have the same empathy rating as Trump. ZERO.
I see you didn't respond to my question about the fact YOU said 260,000 dead was BS.
When Trump loses and he gives the orders (well hidden) to his cadre of white supremacist army, will you take up arms to kill lefties like they will if their supreme leader says go kill?
And BTW, why is it up to US to tell you what stats are? I thought you were a mathematician, you claim to TEACH math but you want to depend on US to do you research for you?
@kewpie saidReally? OK, thanks for enlightening me with your original point of view.
If you can't see the difference between flu, which has visible symptoms, and a virus which infects well before showing itself, you have a serious intellectual deficiency.
Never once have I heard that you get the flu or cold virus then immediately have symptoms.
Every time you get sick there is always an incubation period.
