The 2018 Flu information is being skewed too. I'm not seeing a global death rate of 650K for 2018 in my search, but there are articles saying a yearly death rate of 290K-650K. With the average being 389K. Note the upper limit being 650K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza

What I did find is the US death rate for the 2018 flu season was 61099. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html Compare that to covid19's 187,159 deaths. We are only 3/4s of the way through the year as well.

It is also suspicious how they paint the picture the flu season was no big deal when it was one of the worse we had in decades as far as deaths go. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/last-years-flu-broke-records-for-deaths-and-illnesses-new-cdc-numbers-show/2018/09/26/97cb43fc-c0ed-11e8-90c9-23f963eea204_story.html

The overreaction to Sars2 is because of its novelty. Check this out for a better understanding of the "pandemic" classification. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/basics/about.html Since we are comparing it to the flu, it seems to meet a lot of the pandemic criteria wouldnt you say? How the world is handling the virus has been the craziest shit ever tho.
