Let's keep it civil, folks.
Article from 31 March 2020, As NYC Nears 1,000 COVID-19 Deaths, How Does Pandemic Compare to Typical Flu Season?
Two quotes:
New York had 4,749 deaths as a result of influenza and pneumonia in 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control (statistics for 2019 were not available).
If divided equally over the course of a year, slightly under 400 New Yorkers died each month in 2018 from the flu or pneumonia, around 167 of whom were in the city. It is consistently one of the top five causes of death in the state and NYC.
As of yesterday's numbers for COVID-19, New York has had a total of 17,131 deaths so far and added 1,025 more in one day. For the flu, we were not under stay at home and other restrictions like we are now. To me, comparing the flu to COVID-19 is an apple to orange comparison. What we are having to deal with now is much more contagious.
Let's keep it civil, folks.

Just keep ad hominem attacks out of the conversation. We can defend a particular position without attacking the character of another. One such example in this conversation is, "Your lack of knowledge..." That's an attack, and things can get quite personal after such an attack. That's why I stepped in when I did. Also, keep in mind that this conversation is occuring on DreamboatAnnie's Account Talk. Let's not hi-jack it.

Let's all calm down and let the moderators keep it civil. Let's return to the bitnez of making or losing the all mighty dollar. Apologies DBA.

Here we are, a month later, and the US has 75,576 deaths. Previous projections updated on April 12th were for total to the start of August. Now projecting 134k... Which is above the April 12th update's upper limit on the range of 127k.
At this point, anyone who still thinks the flu is worse isn't going to ever change their mind.
