This COVID-19 is nasty. But,I offer some facts you won’t hear in the mainstream media.
This has been an above average year for deaths from the Flu in the US and we still have lost more people to the Flu this Flu Season than to COVID-19.
The difference is we don’t shut down our country and destroy families and our economy because of Flu deaths. We also don’t have daily tallies of Flu deaths on TV every day.
Granted that COVID-19 may be more contagious. But, it is no more deadly to vulnerable populations than the Flu.
The preliminary numbers from the CDC on Flu deaths for the 2019-2020 Flu Season....and these numbers usually go up by 25% after the end of the Flu Season (which is now).

Furthermore, the Flu deaths are understated because states are calling any possible death to be caused by COVID-19. Why? Because they are incentivized to do so by the way funds are being allocated to the states BY Washington.
Finally, the silver lining of all this is that even more people in the US would have died from the Flu if we hadn’t had a shutdown, masks, people bathing in hand sanitizer and social distancing.
More will come out on this in the coming years, but certainly not until after the election in November.
