    That's my ****ing point. The article is nearly 18 months old and it was reporting on an estimate.

    Check the CDC website today. Tell us what they say is the estimated death total from the 2017-18 season.

    Funny how you were silent all those other years, huh?

    You have any plans about ending automobile deaths?

    You should take a lesson from that, but you're not quick enough to see it and walked right into it.

    That's a bullshit non-answer. Go tell us what the CDC says is the estimated flu death from the 2017-2018 season. Right now. Here, I'll help you find the ****ing link.

    What was the CDC estimate in 2018.

    Was it 80k like the NYT reported?

    And here I thought you wanted to save lives.

    Be a better American. Such a callous disregard for lives lost.

    Those were Americans. How dare you.

    You said the only valid metric is the one "where actual deaths are declining while the number of those testing positive goes up?

    The death rate goes down every day they test."

    Tell us the death rate.

    I don't give a flying **** if the NYT accurately reported the mathematical modeling estimate 18 months ago. I care whether you are a big enough man to admit that the current estimated death total from the 2017-18 flu season is 61,000.

    Still haven't figured it out.

    I'll give you a couple hours.

    Don't stroke out, we don't need any more people coded as Covid deaths.

    Oh, I see.

    You are purely trying to piss me off by running from your own bullshit claims. Nevermind. Get ignored again. I'm done with you.

    I can't tell you the death rate without knowing how many people are infected.

    You'd know that if you'd use your noodle.

    The CDC is right all the time. They certainly get things wrong too, but they get the vast majority of it correct.

    Then you are saying that there are no valid metrics. Let us know how the virus treats you.

    Right. The CDC is always correct.

    So 80k people did die, since they reported 80k people died.

    No, you just don't understand that you can't know what the death rate is unless you know how many are infected.

    It's called math.

    Little wonder the Codiot-in-Chief loves his poorly educated supporters because they are gullible enough to believe that was a "landslide". :eek:

    Sad!

    Never heard of Gallup, NM?

    https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...-gallup-new-mexico-barricaded-town/111679520/

    The rest of rural America is in no better shape to handle the pandemic that is now happening in those areas.

    https://www.healthcaredive.com/news...erica-and-its-hospitals-may-be-unprep/577161/

    Rural hospitals are about to be overwhelmed just as we see happening now in Gallup, NM.

    That's a very scary story about 191 deaths to Covid in NM.

    At least until you compare it to flu and pneumonia deaths in NM for 2017, and 2017 was the low point for the previous 18 years.

    Nice scary story about deserted streets though. Good story telling right there.

    What do you call swimming.

    Who do you think is going to win the fishing event in the Olympics this year?

    I should have known the sign would make perfect sense to you.
