You're in your 50s and never known somebody to die with the flu? Seriously? If true, and Considering there are 45k a year, that should tell you how little we cover the flu vs covid.
The below was sent to me today. I can link the article that is referenced if you'd like.
Read an article this morning. All the below are quotes from the article, which also talked about hospitals turning away patients bc overcrowded and sending ambulances to other hospitals or clinics. It is from January 2018 and the flu outbreak.
"Medical centers are responding with extraordinary measures, asking staff to work overtime, setting up triage tents, restricting family friends visits, and cancelling elective surgeries, to name a few."
"Our hospital is managing, but just barely."
"We are pretty much at capacity, and the volume is certainly different."
"I've been in practice 30 years, and it's been 15 or 20 years since I've seen an illness scenario like this."
In Alabama, "a state of emergency was declared in response to the epidemic." "UAB hospital cancelled elective surgeries to make more beds available to patients."
"In California, which has been hit particularly hard, several hospitals have set up large surge tents outside their emergency departments to accommodate and treat patients. Even then, emergency departments have standing-room only, and patients are being treated in hallways."
The article went on to describe similar situations in Pennsylvania, Chicago, and Missouri.

Everyone knows what this is all about...
its embarrassing and ridiculous . It doesn’t take much common sense to see it..
Wether you support our President or not... the hate people have for this man is unlike anything I have ever seen... it’s so embarrassing it’s actually comical ...
So when someone says the ridiculous comment that those that didn’t wear masks at all times or kids and families that went to the beach is the reason why football season ( if we don’t have it ) wasn’t played laugh at them because they are part of those people ..

This is such bullshit. Especially when protesting is allowed and encouraged but football outdoors isn't?
Maybe some things are out of our control. Fortunately with this you have 99% chance of living even if you go to a football game.

Your 2nd paragraph is spot on. I’ve never seen anything like it. People have lost their minds over their hate for him.

Not even close. The media absolutely loved Obama and the conservative people I know weren’t freaked out over him like people are about Trump. They didn’t care for him, but people still respected him. People are bar shit crazy over Trump.

The GOP said we were all going to wake up in a communist hellscape if Obama was elected. They're just as histrionic as the Dems can be about Trump. Tucker Carlson is always going on about how statues and sociology professors are an existential threat to us.

Just add outrage over "fiscal responsibility" and "executive orders" to your list, and you've got a barn burner on your hands**
Seriously, though...don't expect a legit, honest, or fact-based rebuttal to your post. It's an election year after all, lol.

I was in a traffic jam on Hwy 49 this morning. Believe me, everybody's fine.
Im with you. I know people who had it and said it's sucks but Any sickness sucks. I highly doubt he knows anyone who has passed away let alone several. He is a fear porn junkie

I wish I was lying. I really do. This stuff got real for me very early on and it hasn't stopped. Hopefully for you it never does.

Correct. And I don't like trump.
Hospitals being overrun is not a new phenomenon. That's why I posted the above. It's our response that has changed.
We destroyed our economy, which was at a near all time high, for a virus that kills less people than the flu for those under 50. Less people than car wrecks if you're under 40. It is mind boggling that the response was not to shelter those over 50 and let them work from home and everybody else go about life.

Meanwhile people like me. I live alone and have been on work from home for months now. My productivity has collapsed. I get lower and lower each day from lack of interaction. I pretty much drink every day now. It's reached to point where I am getting help and am on medication.
Suicide rises with unemployment
Heroin deaths are at an all time high.
We may be killing more people with the response than the virus would have ever done.

If we would wear masks, social distance, and wash our hands, we could re open like the rest of the world.
