60-120.000 per year only 3 times during all this time.
usually the yearly usa deaths due the Flu range more like 17.000-60.000 per year, without any lock down.
and those figures also include citizens who had pre conditions of other sicknesses, very most do.
with most years on the lower figures, the years when the vaccine prognostics fail it goes towards the higher figure.
due Covid, the USA has already 100.000 deaths Now, after just 3 months of the first start.
it would already be 3 times that figure without a lock-down
and i would be surprised if it will be less than a quater million by christmas 2020 under restrictions.
to let it spread without any slow-motion actions, it will be way more and 300+K per year will be the new norm stat for the years to come.
every 4 days the number of victims of 9/11, all year long without any day off, without any cold months flu season and gone by Spring, safe in Summer.
aside of some, like Trump, who tell that Corona will be gone by summer start due the heat poofing it away,
the scientists of this planet get more and more in agreement, that the SarsCov2 runs a year around fairly constant climate, doesn't differ between ht summers or cold winters, doesnt matter between a tropical south american Brazil or a colder Canuck Land.
the Flu numbers are held down most years due some long term running experienced and fairly accurate next-season-prognostics in case of the awaited changes of the virus for the next season,so most seasons run "smooth" as the vaccines work, for the ones who get their shots.
many with pre conditions still bite the dust, but humanity/science does the max possible to keep the numbers as low as possible.
there is no way we humans could defeat those viruses, we live with many, they kill every year many humans, and we will have many more new ones/newly mutated ones in the future to work on.
but it is very very rare that One take's humanity as hard as SarsCov2, a spreading factor of 3-5(Flu is 1.2-1.4, Ebola is a 2.0 etc etc) and for MONTHS at the beginning by Significantly influencial world leaders DENIED to admit they exist(US med intelligence informed the white house in November 2019 about the alarming activities in Wuhan,urging further investigations and actions), then in each public speech shown as something harmless(one used repetedly in almost every press conference daily the words "we have it all under control" til mid March 2020, despite knowlege about it''s awaited furious spread and behavior).
todays we know as facts:
the Corona Virus spreads several times as easy and quick than the Flu, Ebola, Swineflu or any other since Ever.
it is not primarily runninghavock on specific regions or "just" within specific groups(like AIDS been told to be on gays and junkies etc),
it runs through all levels of society, from Alaska to South America, from the USA over Europe to Asia, Africa, Australia, no location spared.
the world economy is hit harder than ever in history,
by a pandemic harder than any other in history.
sure we need the economy back, running as soon as possible to reopen anything, otherwise we will kill as many people as a result of the lock down than Covid19 would without, BUT
as we are todays on the virus sector much smarter than we've been during the panish flu or in the mid centuries during the pest etc etc,
a lock down at the beginning of this Pandemic was necessary to stop it from the worst.
IF some significant world leaders would not have been as ignorant stupid as they acted,
much less people would have died and the world economy would have been hit far less hard than it is now,
because earlier restrictions/lock-downs would have allowed for earlier deescalation processes.
but all that sh.i is done now, no way to reverse anything of taken bad/unlucky/plain stupid etc actions at the very beginning.
now the world has to go the controled but steady way back to a running economy which can feed the globe's population.
we have to come back to our former global warming and ozone hole levels as soon as possible.
ignorant clueless remarks like "it is nothing more than a new flu", "take a tablet of Hidroxicloroquina per day even if not sick" and such dumb crap, do not help nor solve anything. not for the sick, not for the ones we have to prevent to get sick,not for any economy sector nor let alone the whole economy at all.
the worlds countries have started their "deescalation"programs/processes, everywhere it is going step by step back to a life which again include's people going to work, people meeting their friends, people having sex on the backseat in the auto cine, people daring to walk through a intl airport again.
this is a PROCESS, not a decision to do so over night and tomorrow morning we do again all what we did last christmas.
IF we would do it taht way, we would def nuke our economy to a sudden death in no time, have hungry people out on the streets to gain som food by any means.
we shut down our world economy, many people lost their jobs, some freedoms, their LIFES.
All that for NOTHING????
No,
now we have to go that way and come back, but with a plan to follow.
nuke the ones who see their freedom taken away because they feel forced to wear a mask in public/in a supermarket when near strangers.
humaity needs some grains of common sense brain injected,
then we will walk back all together to a acceptable point of a new normal,
until in a few years a vaccine working nearly as effective as the Flu Shots is as Safe tested and available for the Masses.
til then,
nuke the ones who would not take a mask or vaccine to protect others
and dont listen to the clueless leaders who deny listening to their educated advirsors.
think about the whole thing yourself and let your own common sense decide which part you wanna play in this dirty game.
