The flu routinely sends people to the hospitals every single year.
When is the last time the flu killed 214,000 Americans in a year? I'll wait.
You didn't say that. You said it was serious if they went to a hospital. The common cold, sends people to the hospital. Not even the flu... just the common cold.
As for in a single year.... Not relevant.
Per capita death rates are lower than the flu. Even the CDC shows that.
Besides that, we already know the death rates for Covid-19 are drastically over blown. We know that for a fact, because hospitals were paid more money if they claimed any given death was covid-19, and so they were labeling every single death they could as being a Covid death, even without even testing to see if the person had Covid.
So not worried about it.
Has Trump been hospitalized during his presidency for days due to a cold? What about the flu?
You were comparing the death rates of the flu and Covid. If you’re using the data from cdc, then you would realize the obvious truth that Covid is far more deadly. Im not sure what to make of your argument about 0.093 vs 0.1, but the deaths alone should be an indicator that you’re not interpreting that correctly.
Complaining about faulty numbers is just moving the goal posts. According to the cdc numbers that you posted, covid is far more deadly than the flu. It’s that simple.
Because we have routine outbreaks of various flus and colds, that wipe out thousands of people constantly. Happens every year, and every decade we have at least one really bad cold season.
Never seen people lose their minds, and act insane, like the mindless left-wingers are today.
Now if you had come to me and said, we have a cold that is potentially lethal to people over the age of 70, and have pre-existing conditions, and we need to have them isolated and protected, with reasonable precautions.
That actually fits the evidence given. That would be a logical, and intelligent position, based on scientific data.
But to shut down movie theaters, so that 20 year olds who are more likely to be shot by other 20 year old than die of Covid, can avoid Covid.... is dumb.
To shut down schools, because you don't want kids, who are more likely to die from drowning in the bath tub than die of Covid, to avoid getting Covid.... is dumb.
Especially when you are too stupid to realize, those kids are simply not going to sit at home in their basements, and instead are going to run around outside playing with all the other kids anyway.
This is stupid. 90% of the population is being imposed upon, for the sake of less than 10% of population that is actually at risk.
Makes no sense whatsoever. Shouldn't we only lock down the people who are actually at real risk?
And again, we did it your way, and it didn't work. We did everything you idiots on the left demanded, and it didn't stop the virus.
