IHME model has readjusted from 2.2 million US death to 60K, which is avg seasonal FLU deaths. 
DUHHHHHHHHHH, this forum has been touting it's the flu for weeks now! TD FTW.

Dipshit, that’s 60k with full social distancing. We don’t shut everything down to mitigate seasonal flu.

Comparing the numbers to influenza numbers after we all took extraordinary measures to mitigate COVID 19 is slightly moronic.

Well both people I know who had this said it was much worse than any flu they’ve ever had. Both fairly young with no underlying issues. But here I realize that nobody would believe that. Because it’s only hard on old people.

The average flu season isn’t close to 60K US deaths. Rush struck out.

More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year in the United States for the flu illness and its complications and between 3,000 and 49,000 people die each year from the flu. The number of flu deaths every year varies. For example, The average number of flu deaths during the 1990s was 36,000. Average number over a longer time frame from 1976 to 2007 was 23,607 deaths. If you take the number of deaths year wise, you will find a vast variation with a low of 3,349 deaths during the flu season of 1986-87 to a high of 48,614 in 2003-04.

According to the CDC, the flu kills a surprising 3,300 to 49,000 people every year. This rather high number varies greatly in any given year, and according to many health experts is pretty exaggerated. Most years, US death certificates show fewer than 300 deaths attributed to the flu. A large issue in determining the actual number of flu-related deaths is differentiating the flu from other more serious illnesses with flu-like symptoms.

We did however have to shut down the country unfortunately to achieve this low rate. We go on as normal during regular flu season.

Are you that dense? Take out the social distancing and see where we are.
The CDC models were assuming only 50% of Americans MODERATELY abided by the recommendations.

Regardless of where you stand on the measures we are taking....It’s dishonest not to recognize that the reduction in the real & projected numbers is at the very least somewhat attributable to the actions that have been taken. Distancing, closing everything, cancelling events, etc.
The conclusion here should not be “See!?! this was the flu!!!!111!”

That means social distancing and shutting down the economy saved 2.14 million lives. Awesome job everyone.

This Virus Is A Hoax!

We have a vaccine for flu too.

So, is that because the measures are working?

Yahoo news carried a story this morning that some left wing Dem organization is buying radio ads to play during the Rush radio show saying that he's a liar. Don't they realize that they are enriching stations that promote Rush? I thought they wanted boycotts of those stations.

There are a few things that have to be taken into consideration here:
1) As others have said, this is 60,000 with significant changes in lifestyle and work that has never been done for the flu.
2) We don't know what the model is basing this on to be honest. Is it assuming continuing shelter in place for another week? month? until August?
These are things you have to account for. It's great the models are reducing, and hopefully they will start counting COVID-19 deaths correctly at some point rather than just assuming it if you tested positive and died of something else.
In the end, we won't know for sure for a while, but this is promising if true.

Even then, the model is bullshite. There won't be 60,000 US deaths. Even the 14,000 or however many deaths right now are attributed to coronavirus is a bullshite number.

That is categorically untrue

All these frickin tards who thought this was going to kill millions...lol...frickin sheep. Useful idiots.
Posted on 4/8/20 at 12:13 pm to highbooost
Also the majority of that 60k truly died of underlying condition but had chineee flu so these numbers are bull shite too. Probably like 15-20k legit deaths.
