121,407 Dead Americans Tops,
There could be more bodies that were never tested. Today over 32,000 in the USA tested positive. The numbers are going up, not down because unlike the Chinese, we in the West lack discipline. Just today in the USA over 700 dead, 16,500 remain in serious or critical condition in the ICU. In a peak flu week, the average number of dead bodies is 753. All that talk of 60,000 dead from flu each year in the USA is a hypothetical model, not the actual body count, which is far less.
And you don't only get pneumonia. 40% of seriously ill patients have problems with the right ventricle of the heart. A third end up on dialysis. It's causing brain inflammation and neurological damage. These symptoms can also occur in "moderately" ill patients. These people may well end up living with permanent health issues for the rest of their lives. If you get it and recover quickly, that's great, but this disease is causing much suffering. And the latest trend to just say, to hell with it, who cares, is only going to guarantee it runs through the entire population. We need to do what medical professionals tell us.
