And that's WITH stay at home orders. So if any of your friends or co-workers try to tell you it's "just the flu", be sure to slap them in the back of the head

You are retarded

ETA: Difference is when people die of the flu, they die of the flu. When you are 75 have had 15 heart attacks and are in hospice and die-you died of COVID

It is a flu, moron. It just kills obese, disease ridden old people. The same people who would be dead within 2 years.

Let me help:

quote:

COVID-19 has now killed more people than influenza did during the 2018-2019 flu season in the United States.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 34,200 people died last year during flu season. According to numbers tabulated by Worldometer, 39,651 people have died of the coronavirus at this article's time of writing.

The rate of death for people with COVID-19 compared to the flu is also stark. According to the CDC, 35.5 million people likely got the flu last year. That is a death rate of only .1%.

Coronavirus has infected, at least, 742,459 people in the United States. That means it has a death rate of over 5%, which is more than 50 times the flu if its current death rate holds.

For months, the President has been downplaying COVID-19, its impact on the United States, and its seriousness as a virus. In February, President Trump claimed that people in the United States with the coronavirus were "getting better."


It's just the flu

This is pretty dishonest considering seasonal flu is only on for about 13 weeks

The flu also killed 60,000 Americans during the 2017-18 flu season. The death toll varies every year depending on the strain.

So the CDC gives an estimation on how many people got the flu but know exactly how many people have contracted COVID-19? How convenient for them. And if someone with the flu has a heart attack, do they count that as a flu death? I’ll also call bullshite that many people had the flu last year

It really is bizarre. Can't blame it on trump either because he has moved on from calling it a hoax. Just pure stupidity I guess

Why would the CDC want to trick people into thinking COVID is worse than it is? Not everything is a conspiracy
