IS COVID 19 A MENACING THREAT OR BOOGEY-MAN?

1968-69 Hong Kong Flu 1 million deaths world wide, 100,000 US deaths, US Pop 200,000,000, death rate 1 in 2000 or .0005% of the pop. (death rate suppressed by millions of vaccinations in the US)

1957-58 Asian flu 1,1000,000 worldwide deaths, 116,000 US deaths, US pop 172,000,000, death rate 1 in 1483 or .0007% of the pop. (death rate suppressed by millions of vaccinations in the US)

2019-20 Coronavirus 19 through 5/16/2020 309,864 worldwide deaths, 88,668 US deaths US pop 350,000,000, death rate 1 in 3947 or .0002% of the US pop

On the surface it looks bad but let's scratch that shiny surface.  The deaths of COVID are bloated due to reporting methods but we will use them because deaths for the Asian and Hong Kong flu were estimates.  Cases of infected are actual detected cases but reliable researchers have at this time estimated 50,000,000 to 90,000,000 Americans are or have been infected.  The US population is being counted this year and will come in at 330,000,000 to 340,000,000 depending how many illegal aliens are counted so we will use a comprimse of 335,000,000 population.  Now the comparative stats.

Let's look at the mortality rate numbers and the State Governments forced laws and ordinaces.

The 3 viruses listed in order of mortality per infected:

***Since the infected percentages per virus in the US were similar we only needs to look at the deaths to see severity of mortality.

1) 1957-58 Asian flu 116,000 death estimate US per CDC (US pop 172,000,000)
2)1968-69 Hong Kong flu 100,000 death estimate US per CDC (US pop 200,000,000)

3) 2019-20 COVID 19 88,668 deaths US per Worldmeters.info/coronvirus/ 5/16/20  (US pop    335,000,000)

***Lockdowns, people forced to stay home, closing of businesses, schools and private organizations, restrictions of movement, infringement of Freedom of Religion and Speech, 2nd amendment violations and more.

1) 1957-58 Asian Influenza - None
2) 1968-69 Hong Kong Influenza - None

3) 2019-20 COVID 19 - All of the above

One other thing shown is how mild the coronavirus 19 is.  The vast majority of cases range from flu like symptoms to cold like symptoms to under the weather feeling to no symptoms.  The actual small death from the COVID 19 appears to run along the lines of a heavier flu season than a dangerous Pandemic like The Asian flu, Honk Kong flu or Swine flu.  Absolutely NOTHING like the Spanish flu.  Does this some what mild virus require all the State Governments heavy hands?  Appears not.
