"I've never seen death like this. I've known people that had the flu - nobody ever died. I've lost 3 friends. He calls me up, 'I tested positive [for COVID].' I called the hospital; he's in a coma. I know a lot of people that had the flu; they were never in a coma." (DJT, May 4) https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313449844413992961 …

Scott Scott Scott, that is only because we are so much better at dealing with flu (centuries of experience). It looks like the curve to learn how to deal with cover is steep but achievable, given our advanced knowledge of human disease and medical know how.

And unfortunately I think a lot of the numbers are boosted for the Cove Adele's when it's really secondary to the main morbidity sickness/ disease

And as
@jeremyfaust has pointed out, flu deaths are probably heavily overestimated anyway. So Trump's comparison wasn't nearly apples-to-apples.https://www.hcplive.com/view/comparing-severity-flu-covid-19-not-same … - Show replies

Probably more important to compare hospitalized flu patients vs. hospitalized COVID patients. My son had a bad flu when he was 3, was hospitalized for a day. If you have a bad case of COVID, sometimes you’re in the hospital for weeks. We need plasma therapy available to all now!

My uncle died from the flu years ago in his late 40s or early 50s. My neighbor died from Covid last month in his 60s.

330 million 200k deaths. I’m not good at percentages but isn’t that fractional?

My grandfather died of the flu. The only reason you haven't heard of it is because you have stopped your ears with wax.

And it's offensive to see you habitually shit on something you don't understand. It's as if you say my grandfather didn't exist.
