Yep. That’s about right!

Hong Kong Flu,
Swine Flu.
Avian Flu,
The Spanish Flu
and of course,
the Kung Flu

- oh, wait,,,

Yep!

I'm mostly curious how it compares to the Delta and coronavirus classic...

Like... What is the trajectory here? Is it getting more transmissible and less deadly? is it immune to previous forms of covid antibodies and the vaccine? How exactly is it different.....? Etc

Also apparently I'm not the only one who cares..... considering the stock market took a mini dump Wednesday upon hearing the news that it's here.

Thank you!

I've certainly known more people who have died from the flu than covid.

Of course take sensible precautions. The key word being sensible. That doesn't include mandating pie hole diapers, vaccines (people are free to use them if they wish, there's that "free" word again) or lockdowns. This was never, and was never going to be, a "Stephen King's 'The Stand,''' "end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it" virus.

Just my opinion, and the haters can FOAD if they don't like it.

There is no comparison. It is not a hoax.

I agree in that trying to compare the deaths of the flu vs covid is straight up ridiculous and has been since 2020. If I remember the math correctly, it killed more than 5x as many people as the worst flu season going back decades last year.

But........ I don't think 700,000+ covid deaths per year is accurate. I'm pretty sure that is the total amount since the pandemic began. Basically the flu typically kills tens of thousands per year whereas covid kills hundreds of thousands.

I would also point out there have been many more annual hospitalizations from covid compared to the flu... millions vs hundreds of thousands. And these people can have f*cked up side effects if/after they recover from covid and are released from the hospital.

Covid is worse. I was a Covid hoaxer. I didn’t believe it was real. But then 3 people I know died from it and lots of people I know knew people that died from it. I also know another 8 or so people that were in the ICU with it and know people that know other people that were in the ICU with it. I also know of two people that I would see in the elevator at work who were reported in the news as dead from it. I don’t know anyone that ever died from the flu. The flu is different. The only people that die from the flu are already seriously Ill. Almost all of them are already in the hospital with something else, AIDS, cancer, kidney and liver failure, heart attacks and pulmonary embolisms. Healthy people do not normally get the flu and wind up in the ICU. I also know one guy who did two three month hospital stays from it — he is now in rehab for the last 7 months trying to regain the ability to walk. No one gets that type of complications from the flu. I see that Covid only killed about 375,000 in 2020. That’s still 10x as many as the flu. But if it was 777,000 since 2020 that is not good, because more people actually died from it in 2021. It is far from over.

Well... I'm glad to hear that your condition of being a "covid hoaxer" was not fatal and that you have fully recovered. 👍 I hope you did not infect anyone else......

Sorry to hear about that. I have had family and friends of family be hospitalized and die from covid too. I recently heard someone in my family now has seizures and they think it's due to brain swelling from covid.... Sh*t is f*cked up.
