Corona verses the Spanish flu

"Some people in here are determined to compare Corona to the flu". Who?

Then you compare it to the spanish flu. Why have you compared it to the spanish flu that lasted three years but quote figures for the Corona virus for a period of only 2 months?

Guess you missed this part.


“The 1918 flu pandemic virus kills an estimated 195,000 Americans during October alone”

 

Since your smart, why don't you read this and point out the differences between the two?

What was the total death count by April 1918, the same period of time as for the corona virus?

 

Simple request that I’ve already answered.

 

You might try reading the link in the OP if you are truly interested in the timeline

 

I did but I prefer you to give me the answer. Remember:
For Coronavirus: Number of deaths is greater than 100,000 after month 3. Now your turn for the worldwide spanish flu deaths in the first 3 months (the answer for the US cases is 3 dead after 3 months)

 

If you are not intelligent enough and or are so lacking in deductive capabilities to not be able to fathom the difference between the world of 1918 and the world of today where huge numbers of people jet all over the world and how that might impact the initial spread of a virus then it’s a waste of my time to engage you.
Enjoy your Easter Sunday.

 

You are the one that created an OP about a disease that has only been around for a couple of months and compared it to a disease that lasted 3 years which had a first phase that killed many less people than the Coronavirus has killed. I accept your white flag

And the conditions in 1918 were much more favourable for spreading viruses.

Come back in 3 years time with your OP when you would be able to do a proper comparison

 

Some people need to read things three times before they sink in if they get it at all.

Now let’s look at Corona.
Coronavirus Cases:
1,836,965

Deaths:
113,266

Which bit don't you get? October 1918 was 8 months down the line and was the second wave of the virus. Coronavirus is just at month 2 and has not even ended its first wave but has already taken over 100,000 lives. It's going to come back in 6 months time. Do you comprehend yet?

 

So you are predicting 195,000 deaths in America in a month from Corona? Get back to us when that happens.


“The 1918 flu pandemic virus kills an estimated 195,000 Americans during October alone”

 

We don't know! Don't you get it yet?

 

Be very afraid. If Corona doesn’t kill you AGW will. LMAO

 

I accept your second white flag

 

You live in a fantasy world.

 

Why don't you tell me how many people are going to die from Corona virus next October. You must know as you've already figured that there won't be many.This OP is nominated as the dumbest OP of the week

 

The term “ankle biter” always comes to mind when I deal with you and kicking you to the curb is getting tiresome so I’ll just take you to the pound and be done with it. Yes you have made my ignore list.

 

Models are all trending down.

 

So now you believe in models?

The number of dead in America from Covid-19 is at least 20,000.

90% of that happened over the course of 2.5 weeks.

 

Which is to say...nowhere near close to being debunked.

 

Oh no, bye bye little snow flake who could not back up any of his claims, run away

 

Not that an antibiotic, has any effect, whatsoever on any virus.

 

But but but.. if it wasn't for the quarantine, billions could have died.

Yeah, buying all that toilet paper shows that they are.

 

Well to be more precise, it is not the virus that kills you, it is the secondary pneumonia that kills you which is treated with antibiotics
