As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
If you have been listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and George Noory, Noory went to the extreme of trying to grill the New York health officials over how many people died of flu in New York, endangering the people there, you have heard non stop of how many people die of flu each year, and as we have absolute numbers of dead, at least from the non lying China world, that the statistics are:
Coronavirus Cases:
1,600,984
Deaths:
95,604
Recovered:
355,671
The problem is when you start looking at the experts, you start getting numbers from 12,000 to 61,000 dead annually in the past 10 years from flu. That is a bit of a large spread, but then when you read the fine print.......you see the word ESTIMATES. Yes even in the United States where there are exact causes of death, the CDC does not have a damned idea how many people really die from the flu.
Disease Burden of Influenza | CDC
While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million - 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 - 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 - 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.Flu Kills 646,000 People Worldwide Each Year: Study
Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year. The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal.
So when Limbaugh and his Perino Portfolio propagandists are quoting statistics comparing the flu to coronavirus, it is all bullshit. The fact is Coronavirus has been the deadly killer all along, out distancing flu, because we have real sick, real hospitalized and real dead bodies.
Once again, another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Nuff Said.
