Can you link me the statistics that prove this is worse than any flu season we've seen?
when was the last flu season to have over 100k deaths in the US?
some quick googling on estimated deaths
19-20: 61,200
18-19: 34,200
17-18: 79,400

when was the last flu that we tested masses of healthy people for?
when was the last flu we gave federal dollars to hospitals and states that show extra flu deaths?
when was the last flu we called deadly because people died with it, not from it?
when was the last flu we had a global social demonization of people who refuse to use an ineffective method of mitigation?

Strawman. Please do what I asked:

How do they decide what counts as a flu death, when do they adjust the numbers, who makes up the majority of those numbers? What is the margin of error? Please provide links.

Literally no one knows the answer to this. Maybe 2018.
We definitely experienced hospital overruns (or threats of such) in spots around the country in 2018.
We do know that a lot of the covid deaths were due to mistreatment with ventilators and due to very poor decisions regarding the most at-risk populations. Since we aren't making those mistakes anymore, shouldn't we somewhat depreciate the value of that 100k+ deaths statistic?
I mean, don't we need to make balanced decisions based on the current situation, not based on March's situation?

The 2 people that I know that passed were both Dementia patients
They both caught the virus in the nursing home
Both were not aware of their surroundings but were not actively dying
They died of Covid when in reality Covid sped up a long, drawn out death
You have to understand that the flu or pneumonia or a bad stomach virus would have killed some of these people

Playing devil’s advocate, were those deaths from the flu or death with the flu?
