Calm yourself rat. It’s understandable that the worse the death counts get the happier you are.. though reality pops your commie wet dream. Finally, this is a good time to update the simple bar chart I have published several times before. It shows, from left to right: the average annual number of fatalities caused, worldwide, by seasonal flu viruses, per the World Health Organization; the global number of COVID-19 deaths, to date; the number of deaths caused by the seasonal flu virus in the U.S. just two years ago, 2017-18, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. so far, per the same organization: Currently, global COVID deaths are just under 30% of the average for a seasonal flu bug, per the WHO. Those numbers are likely wrong, because China and Iran have almost certainly underreported their fatalities. If we assume that China’s true fatality number is ten times what it tells the WHO, and Iran’s is three times, then total global fatalities from COVID-19 would be 41% of an average flu season, so far. For the U.S., according to CDC, the COVID-19 deaths to date equal 53% of the deaths from seasonal flu two yeas ago. COVID-19 is a disease, and there nothing good to be said about diseases. But today’s news is generally positive.
