For what country? And where did you get those numbers?

One of the problems is the assumption that this is only one virus, something I am not yet convinced is true.

I did look up how people die from Common Cold. ... Tends to be a gateway virus to death, like COVID, where it weakens the immune system and then pneumonia sets in.

Any hoot I have to go to bed and have sex with my husband this chat has made me really horny 🤪😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

We have had more deaths this year so far than years prior @eclair088 , 300k more

I looked it up back in March or May. So I dunno, I think that is America?

That is disputed J

Disputed.

Flu deaths are down.

@eclair088, you just advanced to level 8!

@Whithers yes many people dispute many things

Key thing is, that one part from those quotes. One sec

Here. "Frequently more than one virus is present."

But we can count on you to embrace the worst so long as it supports the tyranny of government.

I had Covid-19 in early December, still feeling the symptoms of itv

More people got their flu vaccine this year @eclair088

If a person has a rhinovirus, COVID-19, AND an influenza virus.... And your test only tests for COVID-19... Which virus is causing the symptoms?

And I got my flu vaccine

Well you need to look it up again. Go to the CDC website. You'll find all the numbers there. The worst seasonal flu in 40 years was just 3 years ago killed about 70,000 folks. Average seasonal flu death for the United States is around 35,000 or so. Covid-19 is the worst pandemic we've had in the United States since the Spanish flu 102 years ago. And that's on a per capita basis.

There are many flus out there. That is why people can get the flu vaccine and still come down with the flu. ... They were vaccinated against three flu strains, but a different strain got it

But bye y'all off to bed

It's still a large number. People still die FROM the flu and common cold.

No no. It is ALL covid! The Dems insist on it.

@eclair088 the point is that is why there are less flu deaths this year as compared to other years. People were more vigilant about their health in general plus they got the flu vaccine. Up till now we had no covid vaccine

James ^^^

Those who would be classified with the flu are likely being classified as COVID due to there being a virus specific test for it.

So what's your point? Add over 300,000 deaths to all the other causes of death this year and you get the highest number of excess deaths in something like a hundred years.

That would not account for it. Since to be of merit as an argument, people would have had to be more vigilant about their flu vax last year, not this year.

The respiratory illnesses look the same

@eclair088 again people get tested for both. You think they stopped screening for other diseases besides covid this year.

This is not a normal year. People of merit have to stay silent or be attacked

Except @meglide That isn't what happened.

Actually, yes. Because sheep. ... Mass hysteria.

No @eclair088 that’s not how any of this works

@eclair088 they didn’t stop testing people for other viral diseases

It's exactly what happened

No it isn't.

Fine go live in your fantasy world then

Eh... Appearances seem to be that people are more concerned about their health. However, how many are being hypochondriacs? ... And how many "health hygiene" actions actually are hygienic?

The problem this year, with everyone being hyperpolarized, is that the stupid questions are not being answered. or allowed to be asked.

I am simply not controlled by the MSM and Leftist liars.

Like I said go live in your fantasy world
