You can see on this page that the deaths for flu + pnumonia is 41k, for flu not including pnumonia its the 600 figure:.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/flu.htm

The policies for listing covid ont he death certificate is generally different for listing Flu. Not sure how the policies have changed recently but back when I was actively a part of this we were required to list COVID as cuase of death regardless of if it is the primary cause or not. They may have changed that policy recently of course, not sure.

Their ability to just ignore most of reality and state things with a complete disconnect is actually rather astonishing to witness to be honest... Its like seeing someone on acid who thinks there are dragons in their closet.

Americans just come across like raging lunatics anymore with this nonsense.

@GreenFire

I suppose thats one way to in no way address the racism you support and try to deflect.

Ironically I am just as quick to attack Trump. Neither deserve to be in office, both are racist.. Try supporting someone who isnt a racist piece of shit and maybe we wont have to worry about authoritarians stealing power.

> No one made excuses for his past behavior what they did state is that it’s in the past and irrelevant at this point.

Except its not. His behavior is clearly one of someone who remains racist, and I gave an example of that. He has choosen to take advantage of black people and use them to advance his own career while continuing to show he is clearly a raging racist my attacking the racial identity of anyone who doesnt support him by saying they arent even black.

> You called it history, but then, in your own words, claim that he still a racist.

Yes, you do realize something can be true historically while still be true today right? It is historic fact that he is a racist, it is also a fact he is still a racist.

> Gonna block you and the other guy now because anyone who is actively trying to label Joe Biden as a racist, etc. is doing so in aid of a fascist take over whether they realize it or not, and I’m not gonna give a platform.

That is about the level of maturity and critical thinking I'd expect when faced with racism... no surprise there.

I guess so... I wonder who.

@realcaseyrollins

Biden has turn "I'm not a racist, I have black friends" into an entire presidency...

@Pineywoozle @MoiraEve @GreenFire @georgetakei

@Pineywoozle

Well Biden is a friend of my father and moth and he comes over for dinner and spends the night from time to time. So yea I am certainly basing it off some level of bias. But yea, the man is a raging asshole and racist.

I mean it is kinda obvious with how he exploits minorities to get ahead and then attacks the racial identity of people who dont support him and dont want on his team. "If you dont support me you aint black" in his own words (never mind the fact he had to use broken english because he associates blacks with not being able to speak in an educated way).... Yea right here and now it has been overwhelmingly obvious he is still a racist, just one smart enough to know he has to exploit them now rather than abuse them to get ahead.

@realcaseyrollins @MoiraEve @georgetakei

@GreenFire

I mean he literally started his career and spent most of it trying to prevent desegregation and even explicitly stated he didnt want mixed races in school because he didnt want his kid to "grow up in a racial jungle"... But hey, make excuses for his racist behavior, nothing new.

Havent been initited and gone to a meeting yet. But generally its about fraternal brotherhood (helping each other be better people). Their motto is "Making good men better", which is what appealed to me.

@mxtthxw I can try

> Totally agree we should prevent flu better. Lack of flu activity in 2020-21 basically showed that covid mitigations = flu mitigations!

Absolutely, Flu and COVID are serious diseases even if they arent at the level of hype some people would like you to think. We should take **reasonable** precautions for either, that includes good filtration and airflow in public spaces, good hygiene. When in a high-risk environment like a nursing home mask up, etc. But les also not go too far off the deep end either (like shutting down whole economies over an outbreak).

> I think the issue was the phrasing that 1000 deaths/wk "is the exact same rate the flu has killed people in the USA for decades."

This is misleading. The stats you are refering to are the isolated influence stats.. that is, it includes direct death from influence and excludes death from pnumonia caused by influenza. The COVID figure inclues people who die of secondary causes that are the direct result of COVID. When you factor int he same from influenza then it is much higher than the 600 average figure our quoting. Sadly the CDC itself doesnt have these figures you'd have to go to a secondary data set to get that. Regardless the figure is well over a thousand for sure, I picked that number to be generous. When you combine influenza and pnumonia the figure is 41K a week, but sadly that would include pnumonia without the flu as a primary cause.
