Well, I guess this latest gay tact is a bi-product of the constant thrashing you take at the hands of Bagster. I don't blame you, I'd be pissed too if I were so publicly humiliated on the internet.

Tell you what. What if I tie one hand behind my back. I'll still embarrass you, but it won't be as devastating.

Then you won't have to resort to the 'you're a fag' gambit.

In New York, preliminary results of an ongoing state survey of people approached outside of grocery and big-box stores that were announced Thursday by Governor Andrew Cuomo found that 13.9% of those tested statewide had coronavirus antibodies, and that 21.2% of those tested in New York City did. The official estimate of Covid-19 deaths statewide is 15,740, which makes for an infection fatality rate of 0.58%. New York City adds in deaths from people who died at home and had Covid-like symptoms, for a city total of 15,411, which gives an infection fatality rate of 0.86%. Virus expert Trevor Bedford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle prefers using an estimate of the city’s excess deaths over normal (19,200 since March 11), which gives an IFR of 1.08%.

That is quite a wall of text, but it seems that using the same measure then both the number of infections and deaths from the flu would be increased.

But while Covid-19 is not the flu, yet the issue remains to be the absence of a response to the flu proportionate to to its infections and deaths in comparison to Covid-19, as well as the wisdom of it, as regards what it would cost.

Meaning for instance, why did we not see a comparative proportionate response to the Asian flu with its est. 500 million infection WW and 1–4 million deaths and 116,000 (according to the CDC) deaths in America, when the population was about half what it is today?

And what you should do if we are going to continue to defend the response to covidphobia is examine what the effects of the response will be.
