Calling it the same as the flu proves he is peddling propaganda instead if facts.
If we count flu deaths like we count Covid-19 deaths then the flu kills between 3 to 7 thousand people a yera.
The CDC uses complex algorithims to calculate the number of unreported flu deaths at between 20 to 65 thousand a year. Those are the numbers that the people who use the term "China Flu" refer to.
But we already have 130 thousand Covid-19 deaths with MANY MANY more to come.
Still waiting for the "simple math" to show how they are the same.
Basically the people who want a lower death rate just argue that total covid cases are underreported, but they refuse to admit that the number of Covid deaths could also be underreported due to lack of testing.
