Yeah, his post had the opposite impact on me than he wanted, and I don't know what to think of this virus. The fact that his graph shows 30k+ deaths over 3 months but then we damn near doubled that number in 3 days is crazy.

I love the muh flu people because they don't trust the expert models on COVID but readily take the expert models on yearly flu numbers as gospel. They skip over the part that our "numbers" on the flu are based on models.
Also they simultaneously believe that the flu killed X number of people this season, but also that Corona has been throughout the US since December and no one died from it.

Most died of pre-existing conditions? Inflated numbers? Sounds just like coronavirus deaths. These same pre-existing conditions are killing covid-19 victims. In 1957 (US population was 176 million) and 1968 (US population was 201 million). They had 116,000 Americans die in 1957 from a pandemic flu and similar deaths in 1968 and the entire country did not shut down nor did people even talk much about it. frick sakes some of you people are fricking idiots. This is not the first pandemic flu virus to hit this country and we didn’t shut the country down nor did we burden future generations with paying off this virus debt because the media and our politicians are dumb asses. The people that can work from home should, help our elderly the best we can, wash our hands, don’t hang out in crowds, use common sense, and get this country back to work!

Not even close. 2/3 (116 million/176 million) of the US population did not die from the flu in 1957. Actually, according to Encyclopadia Britannica only 1 to 2 million died world wide. Britiannic Link. Roughly 116,000 died in the US per the CDC estimate CDC Link with most estimates in the 70,000 range for deaths in the US.
The 1968 flu pandemic death estimates is 1 to 4 million world wide LINK with a CDC estimate of 100,000 CDC Link with most estimates in the US of 34,000 deaths.

Judging by the stats you quoted, you’re the leader of the fricking idiot brigade.

Hold up. The graphics in the OP are compiled how? Smoking? Malaria? Alcohol? Communicable Diseases? Abortion?
There are stats on these things now, worldwide no less, but Corona is still huge unknown?
Yeah. This makes so much Facebook sense.

No better way to out yourself as a fricking idiot than posting a meme you found on Facebook as a reason for not believing the experts on a subject,

How the frick can you actually type that out and not have alarm bells ringing?
“65% of the US DIED in 1957, and we were fine. I’m fact, we had mass immigration to bring the population up a net 15% just 10 years later (only for half of them to die in the next outbreak).”
This is warhammer 40k levels of numbness to tragedy.

I personally like how we know the global number of abortions for an arbitrary period (one day short of 3 months for some reason) - down to the last significant figure.

Quake88, you saying that we shouldn't worry until we have a death toll of 227 million in the US?

I’m assuming they took 2019 per day averages and multiplied it by the number of days in this window.

I'd like to see statistics for only the month of March, with no funky dunky math applied.

116,000 not 116 million. I meant to say thousand not million. And if that many die in this country so be it the country needs to get back to work.
When people think of 1957 they think of a 1957 Chevy. Not a pandemic flu that killed 116,000 people.
In 1968, the year of another similar pandemic, people think of Vietnam protest, music, and drugs. Not some damn flu that killed over 100,000 people.

Fixed my numbers. Meant to say 116,000 not 116 million. So adjusting my math I’m prepared to lose 116,000 people to this coronavirus in a country of 330 million to put America back to work. No way in hell though that 100,000 people die of this damn virus in our country. I call BS on the media.

So you think that the president and vice president have been persuaded to tank the national economy for bullshite reasons and that the entire public health apparatus of the Western world is screaming in unison for stay at home orders based on bullshite?
