When was the last time 14 people died of the flu in 12hrs...in one hospital?

    Nope, just playing with Stat's there refering to [Death Rate] / [Tested Rate] = 4.6% mortality to scare, that's [Death Rate] / [population] so 1000/265Mil = 0.003% and climbing.

    May cause a hospital shortage, a surge in short term deaths and it's over, that's what most models suggest.

    Won't know till the end, but it's definately below 0.45% according to the Isreal's some recent data puts it on 0.1% but can't find where I had that currently.

    Your math is a bit..fuzzy. Flu outbreaks are uniformly applied to the national stage. Meaning you can't just take all the hospital deaths from the flu season and apply them uniformly to all hospitals in the country.

    That said, you'd also have to take a bit more nasty strain of the flu - perhaps H1N1 and look at the deaths there, and then see what places were hardest hit and apply a similar look.

    Yeah I know, its just a certain someone here keeps posting nonsense when we are several weeks away from a peak (in the best case scenario) so sometimes you have to quell stupidity with a little literary flare.

    And what's the infection rate for Covid vs Flu? Lying with statistics is a thing.

    Utter bullshit, you are a weak, stupid little man trying to get attention. UK also had its share of complete fucking tools.

    Why the sky is maroon!

    My brother in law's boss in Madrid has largely recovered from it, however based on a basic pulmonary function test and allowing for further recovery he is down an estimated 30 percent lung capacity (currently far worse) . He is 50. He says he can really feel something is different. His xray shows very extensive ground glass opacities.

    Your the 1 that doesn't understand the difference between, Tested / Dead which we know and [Had it regarldess of tested] / [Dead] which we don't know.

    Isreal did a Massive test, came out at 0.9% but a lot more had, without testing atleast 1/2 hence 0.45% or less, maybe down to 0.1%

    49 fat but fit, had it, barely touched me, barely touched everyone I know who's had it all similar or younger than me so far.

    Effects some worse!

    You didn't answer, the reason Covid is more dangerous than Flu is because it spreads much faster, has no cure or vaccine and is a death sentence for people who are already frail. So why would you compare them both as if they are similar?
