Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
I was trying to get to this page from the CDC's home page. All the links I used brought me to a page that stated the CDC no longer will be tracking Influenza death for the general public. They will only track death in children. Maybe I went the wrong way on the site.

But this has been a very mild season.
we have had years over 100,000 death in 6 Months.

When do they officially start counting for this CoVid-19? Feb? Jan? March.....

What ever giver s them the scariest number?
a good video editor can make anyone say anything the editor wants.

Again, comparing 6 months of flu to 1 month of Corona starting and spreading in the USA. Give it a month and then recompare. Also.. did you forget you’re comparing a virus (the flu) with no social distancing and shut downs vs a new virus with social distancing and shut downs. Think about it.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69701584


I read at the beginning, India didn't want to test people because it didn't want to spend $57 of the government's money per test. They just sent them home sick. Do you really think this is an accurate number?

A novel virus, pandemic measures being utilized, social distancing, and lots of other efforts to stop the spread are the reason the numbers aren't dwarfing Influenza yet. But, why argue or try to reason with zealots.

It's the same bullshit I dealt with the Obama-tards. Trump-tards are a different side of the same token.

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 46,000,000
MEDICAL VISITS: 22,000,000
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 565,000

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 175,669
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 22,000
DEATHS: 3,424

We don't know the total illnesses when it comes to COVID19. It's safer to put the 175,669 under the medical visits category than the total illnesses category.

Soooo.. out of people who seek medical care:

flu - 2.57% admitted to hospital
0.19% die

COVID 12.52% admitted to hospital
1.94% die

Now do you see the difference? If not... imagine the medical visits for COVID19 being as many as for the flu.

426,800 dead from COVID19. And since we do have a flu problem, then clearly we aren't very good at keeping our germs off of each other, hence - social distancing.

Citing this report, Professor Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health said:

"The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus […] On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three,”

Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
Most old people die from pneumonia. The CDC calls all pneumonia deaths during the winter flu deaths, even if they didn't have the flu.

The "Influenza-Related Deaths" numbers from the CDC are really a tally of how many old people die from old age in winter when it's not a heart attack or stroke.

CoV is killing old people that weren't on their way out, people who were 75 and would have made it to 85.

That's why they need refrigerated trailers and ice skating rinks to hold all the bodies from CoV. The funeral home business can handle normal flu deaths, because they're really just old age deaths for the most part.

I've never even heard of anyone dying of the flu. I have two Uncles (no really) who died from pneumonia, both bacterial. Once had lung cancer, the other was very old and in terrible health.

These were cancer and old ages deaths, but because they died of pneumonia... it's the flu.

Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
The first thing under the graphic is:

"*Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza."

These are hypothetical estimates based upon mathematical models that uses a base number of influenza cases based on their own estimates.

Ask your GP how many of their patients die from influenza. Probably none. Ask how many died of cancer, auto accidents, old age, kidney failure, etc., and they can probably cite many cases.

If influenza was really thus deadly, we would all have experience of losing friends and teachers each year flu season rolls around.

I'll use statistics from Italy and extrapolate to the USAs population and compare them to OPs flu related deaths.

Currently Italy has a population of 60 million. They have lost just under 12,500 lives so far, with deaths not in decline (has not peaked yet).

If we extrapolate the death rate to the USAs current population, 327 million, just over 68,000 would have died so far... Italy's covid19 deaths have occurred in just ONE month, so lets times the USAs deaths, 68k, by 12.. around 820,000 deaths compared to the estimated 43k flu related deaths..

Imagine if Italy had not shut down, had not taken any precautions.. 

Covid19 smashes the flu, if you use Italy's stats.

A couple of months in to the Spanish Flu pandemic, there were less that 50,000 deaths. By the time it receded, there were over 500,000,000 deaths.

Do get back with us in a month or so with some more of your perspective.

Yeah, because they quarantined and isolated themselves which allowed the most virulent and deadly strains to become dominant.

Again, comparing 6 months of flu to 1 month of Corona starting and spreading in the USA. Give it a month and then recompare. Also.. did you forget you’re comparing a virus (the flu) with no social distancing and shut downs vs a new virus with social distancing and shut downs. Think about it.

It amazes me when I see posts from such ignorant fucktards.

Look at the information. The COV 19 stats go back to the beginning.
