Over 3 million dead (so far) world wide, the ones that were identified anyway.
Record flu attributed deaths were in the 2017-2018 flu season (USA), about 80,000 people.
The USA sits at 580,000 Covid-19 deaths so far and still close to 1,000 people a day lose their lives to Covid-19 in the states.
Plus, in this case, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger couldn't be more wrong. Long term symptoms have been widely recorded. Our hospitals are admitting more and more young people to the ICU. Hospitals are full. Recovery from the ICU is long.
However, thanks to the measures, last season has been influenza free for us, no Bronchitis for my wife. The kids have been home since last March and haven't been sick once. Which does beg the question, what will this to to their immunity long term. Online learning means no learning for the immune system.
