Covid literally has 3 times the lethality of the flu. That might sound like a lot, sure. But what is the lethality of the flu?

... yeah.

Pneumonia and Influenza deaths are not reported to the CDC in the US but there are some extrapolated numbers. (cdc.gov) Working from the number of total deaths at 2.4 million, the CDC estimates P&I account for 7.9% of total deaths. This is 189,000 people in 2018 per COVID. Current death count for COVID is 297,000. (en.wikipedia.org) Assuming these are all this year, that is 12.3% of total deaths. Since nearly all death related to cardio pulmonary failure is listed as COVID, we should subtract the P&I percentage from this reported COVID number. This leave 105,000 most primarily relatable COVID deaths. 105K is 4.4% of total deaths. COVID is a little over half as deadly as the flu. The COVID percentage is most likely even lower as overdoses and suicides have spiked due to lockdowns and are being reported as COVID. (webmd.com)

Well, let’s just say that the outlet I got the numbers from weren’t American. Registry data is a bit more accurate in some European countries.

Not accusing. Just providing what I know. We are being lied to on a daily basis.

Zero, this year. No flu deaths reported this year. I guess we've cured it.
