I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “Kung Flu” because so far as I know there is no disease with that name.
You know what it means. And now you are officially “cute.”
**
That said, the covid-19 disease death toll is current 44,000+ as of today. In comparison, last year’s flu total was around 34,000. So in about six weeks we’ve exceed the entire flu total for last year.**

**Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu
**
If we continue to have 44,000 deaths every six weeks from this disease that puts us on track for 350,000 deaths from covid-19 by next February. Or six times what you claim for “an average flu season”.
Flu season isn’t that long. Mostly it will last about four months at most. But the Kung Flu has been projected not to exceed 60,000, chopped down from 2.2 million. If you are offended by me calling the Coronavirus that it’s good. I’ve met half my quote today of triggering liberals.
Except for years like last year, when it was around 34,000, or just a bit more than half of what you claim.
The CDC disagrees.
I would be more willing to lend weight to your statements if they contained nice, solid, heavy facts instead of the much less substantial and inaccurate content they currently contain.
I haven’t heard a whole lot of facts on this entire thread. Just a lot of hate. It’s like you liberals are REALLY pissed off about all this FREEDOM speech.

Without people, the economy will die**
Duh. Without an economy, people die.
**OK.
Let’s start with heavily taxing the 1%. Because for darn sure those at the bottom currently have no jobs, much less money. **
They already pay 90 percent of all income taxes. And President Trump got all those jobs from overseas with tax cuts. That means more jobs than ever before and more taxpayers. Raise taxes and our job situation goes back to the Hoover/Obama days with record highest food stamp usage.
We need cash fast so go where the money is. Tax the rich. Tax the people who are at this very moment still earning six digit or higher annual wages while working from home. There is your current tax base.
And they send their money away. Their accountants get rich. And there are no welfare dollars for Democrats. Yeah, that sounds like a plan for sure.
Opening up the country too soon is also dangerous.
Nobody is calling for opening up the economy too soon. There are extremes on both sides, (your side for keeping the economy closed to get Biden elected) and the side that believes the country never should have been shut down. I’m kinda in the middle. And I trust President Trump’s call on when the economy should open. He is the smartest president in the history of the country and we’re very lucky he’s calling the shots. There would be a MILLION people if KKKlinton had been elected. Trump surrounds himself with the best minds and he is probably the greatest leader this country has ever had.
But hey, you do have a point. So, clearly you’re ready to volunteer for any needed high-risk jobs. Which other of your family members are you willing sacrifice for the sake of the economy and other peoples’ money? Your spouse? Your children?
Thanks to Democrats, the PRO CRIME PARTY, my family members are in danger anyway. (Well, it would be worse if I were stupid enough to live in a blue state.)
If the economy doesn’t open by the beginning of May, this substitute teacher might wind up putting in an application at Walmart, at least until August when the schools open. But I’m sure Florida will do the right thing. Our governor is very sharp. He has been right on all counts.
You liberals are not going to get your way. The quarantine is not going to be held indefinitely just to get an unelectable Joe Biden in the White House. Give up on that fool’s errand.
The economy is going to come back and it’ll be just as strong as before the Kung Flu. America will get back to work and they will remember that it was President Trump who made the right calls when it counted.
