One does not know where to begin in answering such a question.Yeah. Tell me what you think of the masses of people who contradict experts who claim God doesn't exist? Should they just shut up?
You posted this yesterday. The 586 deaths from COVID was correct at the time you posted it. 26 hours later, the number is 849. We'll be over 1000 tomorrow. Those flu numbers won't be changing. COVID's numbers will be increasing at increasing rates.
It's not even comparable. Given enough traction, COVID19 will make having the flu seem like a walk in the park.
Sorry, 849 deaths was from an hour and a half ago. Up to 894 now.
Infections surging.
Death toll surging.
Ventilators, hospital beds and protective gear for medical professionals running low.
should hit 1k today if todays deaths are only on par with yesterdays.
Spikes in death are a surety when things like this happen:
"New Jersey health officials said Tuesday that many of the residents of the St. Joseph's Senior Home had taken ill, and many of the staff were out sick as well. That meant there were just 3 nuns left to take care of nearly 100 people.
Of the 94 total residents, 24 are now positive for COVID-19 and the other 70 are "presumptive positive," government sources said Wednesday."
All Residents of Virus-Stricken NJ Nursing Home Now Assumed to Be Infected
here is the site I use United States Coronavirus: 64,775 Cases and 910 Deaths - Worldometer not sure how accurate it is, but the information resets in 3 hours, but yesterday took another 2-3 hours to catch up as news came in.
Please stay on topic.
I've been using: Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center
Not sure which numbers are the "best", I just chose the 1 and have been using it consistently.
Take care, stay safe.
Fudge.
So, we ready to eat crow yet?
Worldometers has the death count up past 78K.
A rapid one percent fatality loss out of the blue is often traumatic for a community. Pretty much everyone in such a community would know someone who died. At a tenth of that there will be lots and lots of pain.Kind of a mind-boggler to me is that the death rate per Million for NY and NJ are both over 1000. That is, more than 0.1% of the population of those states are dead from COVID-19, regardless of how many of them were infected.
So, we ready to eat crow yet?
Early on they predicted we’d be facing 200k deaths by the end of the year. If there’s a second wave, that’s all but guaranteed.Worldometers has the death count up past 78K. We're still losing 1000-2500 people daily. I'd be surprised if we were past the halfway mark.
United States Coronavirus: 1,321,785 Cases and 78,615 Deaths - Worldometer
Pretty much impossible to argue now that it's not worse than the flu (although some have still been doing so as recently as this week) unless you prefix it with "Spanish".
80000? The CDC reported 34500 cases in 2018.
Archived Estimated Influenza Illnesses, Medical visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths in the United States — 2017–2018 influenza season | CDC
I guess the article I referenced didn't have the updated real number of deaths. The CDC did estimate that there were 80,000 flu deaths in the 2017-18 year but the actual number was changed to 61,000....definitely not 34,500.
