I was right
Too stupid to get it -
I just finished this brief audiobook, from 2018.

Nothing special, but entertaining enough.
However, in the conclusion, the author referenced a 2009 DoD study about the potential for a modern flu* pandemic that would sicken 90 million Americans and kill 2 million.

Look at us, we achieved that hypothetical with less than 10% of the casualties.* BUT IT'S NOT THE FLU

The instructions from the CDC are to declare a virus death if they tested positive for it even if it's not what killed them. Also states are dumping in thousands of untested deaths with no testing done. Not like the tests are accurate anyway.HHusky said:

We routinely estimate flu dead, Madam.RaceBannon said:

What part of that is beyond your limited comprehension?
The fact we didn't do this with Covid simply shows how much of an undercount we actually have.
Yes we estimate lu deaths AFTER the flu season hence the we don't run a fake tote board comment that you found so hard to decipher. Never have
So an estimate could be low or high annually on the flu
We know that covid deaths are over counted as this very thread shows to people that don't have their head up their ass. And we have this running tote bored filled with those bad numbers
Again, that would be the running tote board that we never had before
Hope this helps but I'm pretty sure you're too fucking stupid to get it yet

People understandably contend that a person who is diagnosed with the coronavirus, but dies of a separate health issue, should not count as a “coronavirus death.” (For example, George Floyd tested positive for coronavirus.) The oft-cited death number probably involves certain elderly patients who were likely to die from any significant stress to their health.
But just as there’s evidence for an overcount, there’s even more evidence for an undercount. A lack of available tests in the early days meant that certain deaths that were probably connected to the virus were never officially diagnosed. The overall U.S. death toll from the start of the pandemic jumped — way higher than the official death toll from the virus: “The 781,000 total deaths in the United States in the three months through May 30 were about 122,300, or nearly 19 percent higher, than what would normally be expected.”
. . .
We can quibble with this or that aspect of the data. I think that if you account for all of the errors and factors that can lead to overcounts and undercounts, it’s more likely we’re undercounting the deaths than overcounting. But even if you assume that one out of every ten official deaths is miscategorized, and shouldn’t be counted as a coronavirus-driven . . . the death count this morning is past 141,000. If the real count is closer to 127,000 . . . how much does that change your perception of the problem? What does the country’s total number of deaths need to reach before everyone will concur, “Wow, this is really bad”? What do you have to see to conclude that it’s not a hoax, that the CDC and doctors are not lying, and that the threat this virus presents is not overhyped?
Because if the answer is, “Nothing will ever convince me of that,” . . . well, then we are no longer discussing what is actually happening; we’re discussing something akin to an article of faith. -
"Hoax!" is a convenient strawman. Excuse me, strawzir.
Meh, fuggit, not worth typing more. Trust in government competence, @HHusky , I'm sure it'll turn out great. -
The underreaction of the federal government has not inspired confidence, I agree.GrundleStiltzkin said:"Hoax!" is a convenient strawman. Excuse me, strawzir.

Sled, Ivan and Race seem to be on the Hoax Wagon. If you have a more nuanced position, that would be rfreshing. -
