Man you have to stop comparing this to the flu you say you speak facts well science says this is way more contagious
Really? I've heard that too. My understanding is that the claim was based on lab experiments. However what is happening in the real world isn't quite lining up. According to CDC, there were 60 million flu infections two years ago in one 7 month flu season. According to CDC, there have been about 1.8 million Covid infections in 4 months. I believe that's understated by a factor of about 10. But even 17 million infections does not get you to 60 million in 7 months.
That's actually starting to look more and more untrue. I posted information earlier directly from the CDC acknowledging that flu deaths are significantly undercounted. I've posted videos of top health officials telling doctors to overcount Covid deaths. I have also posted information concerning the CDC's first data based estimate of Covid mortality. It ain't 6%. It ain't 3%. It ain't even 1%. Their current estimate while INFLATING the numerator and underestimating the denominator... is .26%. The flu is around .1%... with deaths again being significantly undercounted according to CDC.
and you can get a flu shot.
Yes. You can. Yet if flu deaths were counted like Covid deaths are being counted...you'd likely have over 100k every year in spite of vaccines and treatments.
Dr Fauci contributed to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine around the end of February that said that "in the end" Covid-19 would likely have an Infection Fatality Rate similar to the flu. That may be the most accurate thing he's said in the last 4 months.
If America didn't do nothing and tried herd immunity then we would be over 1 million dead in 3 months.
No. That is simply untrue. I cannot say why you want to believe that. But even those pushing the extreme narrative a month ago no longer claim those numbers. In fact, there is growing evidence from states that did not participate in the shutdowns and from other countries that the shutdowns were not very effective. You may "feel" good about "doing something"... but that does not mean that the "something" did any good at all.
What we DO know is that the collateral damage to people due to stress, financial hardship, increased poverty, malnutrition, depression, etc WILL harm and kill a LOT of people.... focused primarily on the young.
I know of someone in their 40's that spent almost a month in the hospital and was on a vent almost died they couldn't help it or take a vaccine like you can with flu.
That's an anecdote. Statistically, that person is a rare exception to an overwhelming statistical "rule". If that person was otherwise healthy... not overweight, not suffering from some sort of immune deficiency, not a heart patient, not a diabetic, etc... then they are literally a "lightning strike" example.
PS- a vaccine does nothing for you if you have the flu. A vaccine ONLY helps you before you contract a virus. And... you probably do not understand the flu vaccine. Before each flu season CDC and others attempt to project which flu strains will be prominent in the coming season. The vaccine offered targets those strains. It may or may not have provide lesser protection from other strains. Sometimes they miss it... like two years ago.
