The whole world is just now going on 34,000 deaths due to this pandemic

That's not even 1/2 way to the numbers who died of the regular flu just in the U.S. in the 2017/2018 Flu season(80,000 deaths)

Interesting
 
Trump said 100,000 deaths in the US is a win.

Only interesting if you are unable to know the difference between comparing a 3 month unit of time for a rapidly spreading disease and a 12 month unit of time for a pretty well known quantity. Throw in comparing deaths from one country to death worldwide and you have a whole lot of "fascinating" ignorance.

Are you still hoping for a 2% kill off of Americans?

Do we finally see your real opinion of hopes about black Americans in your covid-19 incessant maximum deaths wish messages:

Why Black Americans Face an Uphill Battle Against COVID-19

The highly contagious and potentially deadly virus sweeping across the country is going to hit hard in the black community. And the reasons will reach beyond dangerous rumor-mongering and racially based misinformation.

I've posted links multiple times showing that over the same time period, deaths from the flu in Italy are more than double that of covid-19. But according to the MSM and most people on this forum the flu no longer even exists - nor any other disease or cause of death. It is only covid-19 24/7 - every day and night, week after week after week. But for covid-19 we are immortal.

But, it's the whole world now Tex

We had the crisis in China, Italy and south Korea(Bad)?

Agree that's a stupid thing to say.

But, in a way hes right

80,000 died of the regular Flu in 2018

We did it however without shutting down the U.S and pumping 2.2 Trillion of $$$ we don't even have?

Joe Biden and the sleepy lazy rich democrats are not interested in the facts, just the 'truth' being promoted by the democrat party.

Biden tells Iowans: 'We choose truth over facts'

After spending a month downplaying the pandemic, making up excuses, arguing against cities/counties/states taking action to prevent the spread, and you are still trying the "it's not as bad as flu" nonsense. I thought you were going camping after your GOP governor put your entire state on a stay at home order?

You don't seem to have grasped the point. Unchecked, this would kill millions.

Intersting perhaps, but not the same really. The world is a different place. For example, there's no world war right now.

Well, me thinks when comparing your graph to the 80,000 and now flu deaths in 2018 ?

It couldn't hold its jock strap right Tex?(LOL)

118,926 is the mortality from regular flu year to date this year.

34,959 is the mortality from Coronavirus year to date this year.

Since no one wants to have a serious conversation on *flu related deaths* against *coronavirus related deaths,* what makes you think your OP will all of a sudden change this?
 
Trump said 100,000 deaths in the US is a win.

The understanding of this thing is constantly evolving and the estimates of death from the experts on this seem to have a very, very wide range.

When did Trump say this?
 
Prediction on the leading cause of death in March 2020 in the US?

Nearly 8,000 people died EACH DAY in the US in 2017, and likely none of them from the coronavirus. What will likely be the leading cause of death in 2020, the corona virus?

That's assuming you're correct

Which you're not

According to some models.

Models are only as accurate as the assumptions on which they are based.

Then what would you like to see happen purely on the stat of deaths from the flu against deaths from coronavirus?
