COVID-19 contrasted with the Flu

[FONT=&quot]From now on Americans are going to understand to wash their damn hands and don't try to power through the flu because it can potentially kills hundreds or thousands of people in a chain event that went through you.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]numbers like this and Cardivascular disease death numbers should be sobering, instructive and a reminder of the work we need to do once our amazing scientific community comes up with cures and new care options in record time.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To make any comparisons between the Flu historical numbers and CV19 projections is kind of like taking Vince Carter's career cumulative numbers and comparing it to Zion Williamson's career numbers and saying[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Vince Carter is a much more dangerous basketball player when the NBA starts up again than Zion because has only 448 career points in the NBA and vince has 25k[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]not to mention that NBA defenses can all get a Vince Carter Vaccine, AND the human body is genetically designed to fight Vince Carter (Flu) as its a human virus and Zion is a novel animal strain that the defenses (body) have zero defense for. Also[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]ultimately CV19 is already killing more daily than the flu. And we don't seem to be going down do we?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]further more the Flu has never been given a season where Ventilators, PPE, and Doctors, Nurses started to run out. This is where we are going. Our hospitals will collapse and people with other illnesses that normally got the proper care to save them will die in parking lots along with people gasping for air from FLU and CV19 on the ground.

"Why Covid-19 is worse than the flu, in one chart


...A question we keep hearing about the Covid-19 pandemic: Isn’t this disease a lot like the flu?

A quick unambiguous answer: No, this is not like the seasonal flu. It is worse.

Yes, some of the symptoms of Covid-19 resemble flu — especially fever and coughs. But this virus is worse for the destruction it may cause, not only in human lives, but to our society.
