I saw CNN post today we have 150,000+ deaths due to Covid, pardon me but that's less than flu deaths no?

@DiegoWolfe and what is the price of tea in China?
@DiegoWolfe No, it is not less.

The CDC 's estimate of flu deaths in the US 2018-2019 is a range from a low of 26,339 to a high of 52,664.

In other words, the reported covid-19 deaths is somewhere between 6 1/2 times to 3 times last year's estimated flu deaths.


Here's where I got that:

@DiegoWolfe no it’s not less than the flu at all. It’s a little more than double the highest ever, and it’s that even tho we’re shut down AND now wearing masks.
