More than 4 millions Corona cases worldwide confirmed

Hospitals are going broke because of a lack of patients. What does the infections matter if so few people even get hospitalised.
replied 1967d
I think it is much more than that. Most people aren't showing symptoms. Very low death rate. This is humanity's biggest blunder in history.

1 Million commit suicide every year, Just to put things into perspective.

I'm reading a book about the Spanish flu pandemic. If it is known that there was no social distancing, between 50 and 100 million people died from it.
replied 1967d
Because there was no social distancing at that time, between 50 and 100 million people died of it. More than in the first and second world war combined.

Nonsense. Spanish flu killed so many people because it was far more deadly. Or should I say, actually deadly, as opposed to Covid-19, which many still say is similar deadliness to flu.

Spanish flu was as deadly as ordinary flu. Only no one was immune to it, that's all. Look it up and don't tell any stories. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu

Few die of normal flu, because many are immune. And if no people are immune, then more will die. Covid-19 is no different than Spanish flu.
replied 1967d
You seem to agree that they are totally different, except that "no people were immune". Even if that were the case (it is not), that still makes them different

This is like saying that a fast car and a slow car are exactly the same, except that the fast car has stuff inside it that makes it go faster. Total non argument.

At least not very significantly.

I am not sure what game you are playing here. First line of YOUR link: "The Spanish flu [...] was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic". Not ordinary, unusual.
replied 1967d
As for your " Only no one was immune to it", that is like saying having your head chopped off is not dangerous, except for all the stuff in your neck that gets ruined. Total nonsense
replied 1967d
That link also talks about especially young adults dying from it, which is an extremely uncommon thing for the normal flu. It behaved in a special way.

The main difference is that a suicide attempt does not result in 2, 3 or more new suicide attempts, as is the case with a pandemic.
