The author (and poster) is an idiot.

80,000 deaths in 8 weeks in the US was more than each year of annual deaths of flu and pneumonia (not always caused by influenza) for the past decade.

We’re at 110,000+ deaths 4 months in and states that returned to business as usual are now facing more per capita infections than New York City at its peak (Arizona of all places - it’s 115 degrees outside with the highest UV index of any populated region and below 20% humidity —- inhospitable to viruses but now worse than NYC per capita and possibly worse in raw numbers in 2 weeks).

The flu has vaccines, and is 10-50 times less deadly. Stop spreading this nonsense.
