CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in the U.S. - STAT

(NEW YORK — An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last winter — the disease’s highest death toll in at least four decades.

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, revealed the total in an interview Tuesday night with The Associated Press.

Flu experts knew it was a very bad season, but at least one found size of the estimate surprising.)

Why no calls for face masks then?
And no shutdown?

Because Trump said he had the virus under control.

Why do people keep asking these kinds of questions? We have 100,000 deaths and rising WITH the shutdown and masks. Without them the deaths would be many times worse. Do you really think it makes sense for the whole country to be like NYC?

Yes, 80,000 without lockdowns and masks.

You'll get it eventually. Or not.

Wow, this is only the 119th (or so) time someone has started a thread like this comparing COVID 19 to "the flu." Can't wait to hear what new things we'll learn this time through this tired, lame debate.

Oh, there will be. The Liberals aren't going to give up these new powers without spilling blood.

The next time there's the slightest hint of an outbreak, the Democrats are going to hit the off switch immediately.

Have you run into anymore anti-maskers while you were out in public?

BTW, did you say you had been infected? WTF are you doing going out in public, anyway?

Antimasker. Good term. Like antivaxxer or antiseatbelter.

They will only IF it benefits them.
Do you think if Biden is elected, they would want the economy to suffer?

You have a great memory. He did say he thought he and his wife both had covid-19.

Don’t believe the numbers, they are propaganda.
Rantz: Gun shot victims counted as Washington coronavirus deaths

The US is Dramatically Overcounting Coronavirus Deaths

It’s well known most of the deaths had other serious medical problems.

You did not answer the question, Why no masks and shutdown then?

It’s pretty tough when T is abandoned by Hannity on masks and several con newspapers and Congressional heavy-hitters over his epically VILE CTs.

The next spike from all of the COVIDunces last weekend will be before the next round of CIVIDiocy over the July 4th weekend.

The next peak of the first wave of this COVID Hoax will be before the GOP convention and Labor Day weekend. Combine those two with September school science illiterates and you overlap with the coming 2nd wave.

How’s the back side of the graph doing in each of the 50 states. You still can’t explain the answer to that question.

A dozen GOP governors are on record saying they will NOT count new cases and new deaths, will selectively count both, and admit they can’t keep up with counting.

I recall how you lost your **** over the lockdown protesters. Are you going to express the same condemnation over these violent assholes?

It isn't a virus and isn't spread through the air as COVID 19 is, and has treatments and a vaccine. Think more, post once done.

FLU: How is the flu spread?
ANSWER. Most of the time, the flu is spread through droplets in the air. Sick people sneeze or cough out beads of moisture that contain the flu virus. Jan 2 2019

How does the flu spread?

They never get the flu vaccine right, it’s always the wrong Strain.
Do you feel uneducated yet?
You need to study more.

You may want to watch the video again. "The majority of people out here actually are peaceful."

Or are you talking about the "violent assholes" whose actions resulted in George Floyd's death? If so, your description is more accurate.

Yep! Real peaceful:

At about 6 p.m., the protest turned into a march towards the 3rd Precinct, where it is believed that the officers worked. A much smaller group than the initial protest started vandalizing the building, shattering a window and spray painting squad cars.

And they were violating the coody codes.

If the lockdown protesters had resorted to this kind of violence, you would be screaming for them to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Not unless you are placing the elderly back into the nursing home to infect others.
How stupid do the politicians need to be? They knew early that the virus effected the elderly with underlying medical conditions.

You just are not getting this, after 3 months of living with the global devastation of Covid-19, you still aren't getting it. The numbers you are quoting happened from September thru April, 2018-19. COVID-19 was first detected in the United States in February 2020. By mid-March, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, and four U.S. territories had reported cases of COVID-19. The seasonal flu, even in a bad year like 2018-19, in which there were caused by two completely separate flus, didn't overwhelm our medical system. Since Covid-19 struck new York, bodies were being stacked in hallways and on trucks in NYC. Thousands of medical respondents have CIVOD-19 and many have died. Right now in Alabama, they're seeing a surge in cases and the entire state has just two ICU beds left to deal with the onslaught.

There is just no comparison between the 2018-19 flu season and Covid-19. The numbers we have seen so far are WITH the shutdown in place. They would have easily be 10 times higher without one.
