Comparing COVID-19 Deaths to Flu Deaths Is like Comparing Apples to Oranges
The former are actual numbers; the latter are inflated statistical estimates

Should Covid achieve a special status? If what, what should we call it?

Clearly, conservatives are indentured to trump. They've made a "Faustian" bargain from which they cannot escape.
Unfortunately, the rest of the nation suffers because of it.
However, there is hope. Change is in the air. And it's political, not epidemiological.

@whodey saidJust follow the link and draw down the average seasonal flu death toll down from about 60,000 to 15,000 max
So for the record, Covid is not the flu?

Call covid 19 what you like but the idea that it’s no more deadly than seasonal flu is BS, especially when you consider that nobody locks down is in order to avoid seasonal flu.

@eladar saidDo you actually listen to that little voice in your head as you're typing?
@Suzianne
Lol, yes so many people have died due to covid. What percent of deaths are covid deaths?
Read your last post out loud. Does it make any sense to you?
C'mon man. I know that Public Schools have been under-funded for years. But, even you're not THAT dumb!
I mean, as it's written, it makes no sense.
