For anyone who still doubts this is a pandemic: More people died of covid in the state of California in a month and a half, than died in the entire country from the flu in a year. Does that put it in perspective?
You should also, not forget that that is, after, taking measures to reduce transmission.
In the UK it is said that, we average about eight thousand deaths each year from winter flu, without taking serious precautions. We are now at a hundred plus thousand, covids deaths, times twelve, and that is despite measures.
Not only taking measures; taking truly extraordinary measures, such as we haven't seen in a century. And yet some want to say it's just a bad type of flu and it's all indoctrination.
Such willfull blindness frustrates, horrifies, and infuriates me, in no particular order.
