Comparing COVID-19 to the seasonal flu is not useful. Flu season is pretty much over. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, depending on the study, is about 2.5 times as infectious as the flu, has a much higher mortality rate and most important there is no vaccine. The MOBS model from the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University projections for May 1, 2020 estimates that there will be about 89,000 deaths in the US by mid-May if stay-at-home orders remain in place. Deaths will be much higher if distancing is relaxed.

No doubt deaths will be higher if distancing is relaxed! New York is a prime example... I saw this unfold from the start and it was a full comedy of errors!

Ibian was DEAD WRONG in his virus predictions, now knows he was DEAD WRONG, yet pretends to cope with his wrongness by trolling me back with "flubro" memes.  

How immature. But hey, once a troll always a troll, right Ibian?

Not a troll, he was/is properly scared. An enforcer they call it?

That is called speculating.

Yet people like marcus keep presenting "second wave of covid-19" as a sure thing, that's coming 100%. When it should be treated as a wild speculation.

When it's just a hypothesis with no scientific evidence to back it up.

Now, who is exaggerating?  People study these kinds of things, so yes there is science... but whether you believe the science is credible or adequately backed by facts and logic might be another question, but asserting that there is "NO" science is inaccurate.

People study other viruses, but for covid-19 specifically there is no science on the "second wave".
Not a single country is experiencing "second wave" right now, despite very different lockdown policies.
Enough time passed since the first peak.

Honestly anyone who is still on about millions+ of people dying from this Covid-19 "plandemic", or a "second wave" of massive # deaths, needs to rightly STFU.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/health_policy/Provisional-Death-Counts-COVID-19-Pneumonia-and-Influenza.pdf

CDC U.S. death prediction: ~480,000
Actual U.S. deaths to date: 11,356 (btw pneumonia/flu killed 5X as many during the same period)

...and to think that they shut the whole fkn world economy down for this.  

The high number would be probably shown as incorrect in the end, but the low number does not seem credible, or rather your interpretation of the table is iffy (the table does not say what you think it says).
Why? Because that number would not compute in comparison with the european ##.
It's just not realistic to say that there is no impact.

Data as of May 1, 2020, its not fashable in 2020 to die from the flu
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/

------------------	COVID-19 Deaths	Deaths from All Causes	Pneumonia Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19	Influenza Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19
Total Deaths	37,308	719,438	64,382	16,564	5,846	90,165

2017/2018  80,000 people died of flu

    As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that at my age

    I don't really give a rat's ass anymore.
    If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
    A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.
    A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.
    And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.
    Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the eyesight to be able to tell the difference.
    Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:

I  Started out with nothing, and I still have most of it - nothing.
2. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.
3. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
4. Was I saying something?
5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it ?
7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.
8. Some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the hydrant.
9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
15. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
16. It's not hard to meet expenses . . . they're everywhere.
17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".
19. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
20. HAVE I SENT THIS MESSAGE TO YOU BEFORE..........
