    Then you need to look up the CDC definition of a Covid-19 death.

    Don’t dare question a single reported covid death no matter how questionable. Therein lies madness as every single one is precious to the cause of maximizing this virus’ very minor danger!

    No, it is NOT.

    The USA lost about 700,000 dead in the flu of 1918/1918.

    Are you saying we have had 2.1 million dead?

    People hate proportions. They like raw numbers for the sake of drama.

    This virus attacks weak people cause it is a weak virus unlike 1918 which killed everyone.

    Perspective people.

    Worry about real things!!!

    Trying to say this virus is of no consequence when it has already killed 180,000 people is just nuts

    trying to claim that it’s not as bad as the worst pandemic in 100 years is nuttier

    and oh yea... so far it IS worse. More people died on the first five months of this thing than in the first year of the Spanish Flu

    So yea. Just stop

    Listen to that video again. How can you say that after listening. Unless you just don't believe what you hear.

    1) The 700,000 number covers March 1918 - April 1920 --- 26 months.

    2) The death toll between March 1918 and the end of August 1918 was around 60,000.

    3) Do the fricken' math.

    No gun shots either. Did you hear the part where no matter the actual reason for the death, if that person is positive for the China virus, it counts as a Covid-19 death. So car accidents would count as Covid-19 death if victim is positive.

    https://www.theherald-news.com/2020/04/21/what-counts-as-a-covid-19-death/a38v0ed/

    "During Gov. JB Pritzker's health briefing on Sunday, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, the Illinois Department of Public Health director, said anyone who had COVID-19 at the time of death, even if the person died of other causes, is counted among the COVID deaths.

    In fact, even if a person is in hospice for other reasons but has COVID, too, that death is still counted among the COVID deaths, Ezike said."

    If the hundreds of thousands killed worldwide by COVID-19 is not that big a deal, than the 3,000 killed on Nine Eleven was even less so and hardly warranted going to war and spending billions and billions of dollars on the war on terrorism.
