And just yesterday we had people here mentioning the flu.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

We had as many as 62,000 deaths in this last flu season. Flu seasons starts in October and ends in April, with the peak being December to March. We have already passed the last flu seasons total deaths, which so happens to be one of the most deadly flu seasons in recent times. In the same fucking time of a total flu season, we will lose more than twice the amount of lives than we did during the highest recent flu season.

How can people still not wrap their minds around this virus? It's scary. Is that why they downplay it? Fear?

The MSM is a powerful tool. They spent months telling everyone the flu was a bigger threat. Even now you have the PotUS politicizing this, forcing people to pick their side.

I think that's based on current modeling. Now that states are opening up, some with cases and deaths are still climbing, I think it's going to be probably twice that.

If you evenly disperse that over every town/city/village/whatever in the US, there would be 6 deaths per place

So that 134,000 by August model is apparently an optimistic model that assumed states would be shut down until the end of May and also that we would be following stay at home orders better than we are.

So it's most likely gonna be worse than that.
