How many people die from "common flu" each season?
I read somewhere that it's upwards of 60,000 Americans that succumb to the common flu each flu-season.
Worldwide the numbers are astronomically higher.
Where was all this back 2 years ago when everybody was dying...
It seems like they named this flu and people ran for the hills and quarantined in bunkers.
The data suggests it's a small percentage more deadly than the common flu... But then again there have been instance of the numbers being inflated...
It's a mess, the whole shebang is sketchy. I feel terrible for the people who have lost loved ones and offer my condolences. I pray for their families to find peace and healing.
In my unpopular view, these victims could have passes from the "common flu" almost as likely- or passed away due to being in a car accident or a fall down icy steps. All of our days are numbered and in my opinion God is the one in control. I live my life that unless it's suicide it's not up to you but for the lord to decide when it's your time to ride. Live your lives to the fullest and live without regret. If it's your time a mask will not protect you, just as if it's not your time- no virus, no lions or no giants are taking you before your work is done.
Living in the perpetual fear of catching this flu lowers your immune system leaving you even more susceptible to infection, not only COVID but also colds and other bacterial infections. I've seen reports that suggest that if you've received the flu vaccine in the past few years that you are likely to test positive for having the virus... don't know if that is 100% valid, I'll need to look into that further, but it could explain the asymptomatic individuals.
Regardless, I hate the masks as well. If you are worried about it, then by all means feel free to wear one. But it should be a choice and not a requirement. I work in an essential service and the past 7 weeks we've been grinding along without them, now we are required to work with them on...
*On a lighter note- Nobody should be made to wear anything they do not want to wear. Women should be allowed to be shirtless in public just like men.

It's refreshing to see posters with common sense react to something like this
The poli board tho... woooh boy. That's another story
Because posters with common sense don't bother with the MAGA cesspool that is the Political Board.
That forum should be forced to ingest Clorox.

Hey- there'e a few of us that venture over to the poli board to piss the MAGAs off with opposing views.

I wouldn't bet against the death toll topping 100,000 by the end of the month. One thing we do know for sure- if you start showing symptoms the mortality rate is WAY higher than flu. Do the quick math- flu 31 million cases, 80,000 deaths. Covid so far 1.2 million cases, 67,000 deaths. that's at least 20 times more fatal.
OK, we have yet to figure out with any reliability how many cases are mild or asymptomatic. That's what makes this booger so dangerous. When you get the flu, you know it. Covid? You can feel perfectly normal, and go around infecting anyone you come in contact with.

I understand that, but what I'm saying is-
Typically, in a year's normal two flu seasons (one per hemisphere), there are between three and five million cases of severe illness and around 650,000 deaths worldwide, which by some definitions is a yearly influenza epidemic.

In the United States, flu season occurs in the fall and winter. While influenza viruses circulate year-round, most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, but activity can last as late as May. The overall health impact (e.g., infections, hospitalizations, and deaths) of a flu season varies from season to season.

Have some data... All "flu" data are from CDC. Covid-19 is latest from Johns Hopkins.

First, you show us that 80,000 people a year die from the flu. Now it's 650,000.

PoG and I...... who could've seen this unlikely pairing of minds coming together?
Jeez, I fear texting drivers - not only for myself, but for my entire family and friends, far more than I do COVID.
According to Princess Newscum, CA is possibly starting to reopen by weeks end, so maybe, just maybe, I can save the family owned business that my hard working, uneducated father launched all by himself 47 years ago...... but I don't know if it's possible.
Some people lost a loved one, others will lose everything else.

I think one thing that may be getting discounted here is that the loss of our livelihoods is far more frightening for some of us than the virus itself. I too am a second generation owner of a family business, and there’s a shit ton of pride in that and an equal amount of concern right now.
It’s not just a job or a paycheck. Prior to now it was a fine tuned vehicle through life for myself and my family built through a hellacious amount of time and effort from my father and l over 35 years.
It’s deeply personal. It’s my contribution to the world so a lot of my perceived self worth is tied into it. Life is finite, but if we play our cards right we can create things that outlive us and benefit our future generations.
There are a lot of people’s life’s work at risk right now. It’s frightening and quite the burden for those of us tasked with carrying a torch through these tenuous times.
And by and large we get it. Save lives, it’s the right thing to do, yadda yadda. But none of that changes what l would do to get back to the daily grind. Volunteer to get a Covid 19 injection up the ass? Sign me up.

The restraining order he has on you indicates the opposite.

The 650,000 is common flu deaths per year world wide...

Maybe the best thing to come out of this is going to be lower common flu deaths each year because all those dirty people finally decide to wash their filthy hands...

I think I can put it in terms you can understand
COVID is like Saquan Barkley. He has good yards per carry (infection rate) and has the ability to take any run the distance (death rate) especially the closer he is to the end zone (older the patient). This is especially true if the defense fails at their assignment or has a busted play (pre existing condition). Other teams watch film specifically on him (wear PPE) and coaches create gameplans to stop him (social distancing). They'll load the box (lock down order) if needed.
The flu is more like Trent Richardson. His yards per carry aren't as high and he probably isn't taking one to the house, let alone a long one. Defensive screw ups help him, but he's not as likely to capitalize. Opposing teams and coaches also don't really do any special prep work for him. They especially aren't going to worry about loading the box. This gives Trent a more advantageous situation to gain yards than Saquan, but he still doesn't do much with it.
