    Is anyone here good enough with CDC stats to look up what the death rates are in a normal flu season??

    I have said from day one that the Kung Fu Flu is 99% BS and 1% reality.  These figures don't change my mind in anyway.  So in the 50-69 age group 200 people actually get the Kung Fu Flu and 1 person dies.  In that age group, out of 200 people how many have underlying health issues??  5% sounds like, if anything, a little low.  That would be 10 people that get the Kung Fu Flu with underlying health issues and only one dies??  Please tell me again just how deadly the Kung Fu Flu is??   Since I have read that the Kung flu Flu death rates are over reported that means the death rates are even lower.  Again just how deadly is the KFF??

    Don't misunderstand me.  I'm not saying the KFF is not real.  KFF is real.  But it is nowhere near as deadly as the media has indicated.  As such, why did we do a total shut down of our country, screwing over every school kid in the country in the process??   Particularly when the risk of death to school age children is so low.

    Is there anyone here who can answer this question??  Why??  It is to easy to say they were after Trump.  There has to be a reason.  What is it??

    dreher, that seems to be the American way. Our our take on Newton's Third Law seems to be:

    That quote is from Mark Twain.

    Those rates are pretty much in line with a normal bad flu season. And, they are WAY WAY WAY below the rates from diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. So we have had 200,000 deaths this year from COVID-19. CDC's web site says that in a typical year we lose nearly 700,000 to heart disease, over 600,000 to cancer. Why aren't we shutting down the economy, opening emergency hospitals, and wearing masks because of these?

    The problem is hate filled America liars in the media. Most refuse to publish the truth ( Media rule #1) unless it benefits the DEMOCRAT party politically.
    These people and their DEMOCRAT handlers will do anything to include destroying the American dream to replace our constitutional and capitalist system with socialism/Marxism.
