CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenzafrom the CDC report.so far this year in the US only:Covid 19: 5902Flu: 5228the only difference is that the flu killed from Jan 1st. Covid is a "late starter", lets say... still think is "like the flu"?
lizzie, i apologize for the number change... just realized that i was about 35k off.we can go back to all we want but lets just let that number sink in...so a projection of 60k+ for the year is still going to be surpassed and then some by this new disease... numbers are numbers.
if you aren't intetested in the Funshoot.I am. actually still going if we are still having it. my intertest on the Fun shoot has nothing to do with the hidden political banter masquarading as health concern. so please if you are going to "moderate" my comments and then make it sound as if im trolling the thread, make it a general moderation to all parties involved. Or just ban me if you please. Have been here long enough to see through the BS. With all do respect.

Believe it or not.More people will die if the economy is not "allowed" to work than this virus could ever cause to die.The flu is STILL causing more deaths than Covid-19 as I write this. However, we have never shut down the US economy for the flu.People will still die after the economy is re-opened. MORE people will die if the economy is not re-opened.We didn't shut down the economy for AIDS and it was a CERTAIN death sentence when it was first detected/diagnosed.The longer the economy is shut down the more people will eventually die because of economic reasons. Much more than the C-19 could ever do.
The country will come back from a recession, loved ones don't come back from the grave.
