And they would have likely had their lights shot out. The Civil Defence wardens took blackouts seriously.

I can’t read it, it’s too small. If you can reveal it, who’s the c**t who complained about this one?
4 ups, 4y
Oh, I didn't make a note of it, and I don't think I would reveal it unless maybe it got really bad

Someone went through and flagged literally all of Octavia_Melody's memes one time

Not a single one violated TOS of course

the difference

back then: Germans were bombing England and the government instructed them to do a black out

now: there's a disease that has a mortality rate less that the flu, and some people just want to work and have a living

conclusion:
no ones being blown up

Please link me your source in regards to the mortality rate being less than the flu and I’ll show you why you’re wrong.

so out of the 15,038,546, only 286,692 have died, and many of those cases are repeats. but taking from that statistic, the death rate is 0.019%, while the flu mortality rate is 0.1% (18,000k deaths to 280,000 bad cases), about 10 times greater than covid. covid is shown to be a little more contagious but less deadly than the flu.

So, if you ignore the actual statistics, I guess that makes sense. But here is where you're wrong...

Also, let me show you how to put links to back up your data and why it's important. It allows me to digest the same data you have so that I can repeat your errors, if any. However, the numbers you posted weren't too far off to pick apart but your method to which you derived your conclusion is based on an error on either your part or the part of your source. A discrepancy I would know if you linked the source.

The case mortality rate is the number of Deaths divided by the total Cases and then multiplied by one-hundred to get the percentage. This means the mortality rate can fluctuate. It is not stagnate. Some weeks/days it's higher; others it's lower. When cases go up but deaths only meagerly rise, the fatality rate goes down. When cases stagnate but deaths go up, the fatality rate rises. To verify, see here:

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcases-updates%2Fcases-in-us.html#cases_casesper100klast7days

According to the CDC, we have 14,636,914 confirmed cases and 281,253 confirmed dead. The CDC is probably the most reliable source in regards to data tracking. You can argue all you want that these are not the right numbers, but until you can produce a more reliable source, this is the best data we have.

281,253 deaths divided by 14,636,914 is 0.01922. Multiply that by 100, and you get 1.92%. Giving us the fatality rate.

Not 0.019%, which would be right if you didn't apply the percentage to the calculation in regards to your initial numbers which were still higher than the CDC's estimation.

And now let us check your numbers of the flu... which are... also suspect, but again, I would love to know your source. Deaths from influenza in the last decade or so in the US ranged from lowest to highest was 12,000-61,000, and cases were 9 million - 35.5 million. The average of these numbers, to get a rough case fatality rate, would be 37,466 deaths and 25.9 million cases. Leaving the fatality rate of influenza to be 0.14%. Which is pretty close to your reported 0.1%. Meaning your source, whatever it was, is probably wrong as I somehow doubt you would have the right fatality rate for influenza but have a very wrong fatality rate for COVID-19.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2019-2020.html

So, your claim is wrong. Covid is actually 19 times more deadly than influenza.

People actually think COVID-19 has a mortality rate less than the flu? dumbasses.

Covid is the modern day bombings. Our resistance is the equivalent of turning out the light.
