Covid deaths are increasing in some parts of the world


Covid isnt just another virus . Its a killer (as are SOME nasty Flu's)
.


www.worldometers.info
Sort by New Deaths.

It's not flu, no, but flu kills more.

1470306 2020-07-18 06:48:00 Where do you get that info from?

Worldometers give flu as.........

Every year an estimated 290,000 to 650,000 people die in the world due to complications from seasonal influenza (flu) viruses.
This figure corresponds to 795 to 1,781 deaths per day due to the seasonal flu.

Since mid February this year there has been 600,000 deaths from Covid-19 . That's in 5 months?

Both figures from Worldometers

What info? The flu? Off the news the other day...the NZ news, they quoted last years flu stats. Our flu, not the worlds.

22000 cases, 500 deaths they said.


As for Worldometer, as I said sort by new deaths...bugger all.

1470309 2020-07-19 00:13:00 "The pandemic has now killed more than 590,000 people in almost seven months, edging towards the upper range of yearly influenza deaths reported worldwide."

From the article I posted.

1470310 2020-07-19 00:25:00 and the bit just before that in that article....



The number of cases globally is around triple that of severe influenza illnesses recorded annually, according to the World Health Organization.


and it's only been 6 months since the very fist case!!


So no - it's not bugger all at all -4,852 in the last 24hr and 604,084 dead in 6 months

1470311 2020-07-19 03:00:00 in NZ.....as I said. Not the world.

www.stuff.co.nz

About 23,600 people who visited a general practice and more than 1770 hospitalised patients had influenza in New Zealand during the 2019 flu season so far.
And apparently 500 deaths. Which is way more than covid did here.

Worldwide?

Up to 650 000 deaths annually are associated with respiratory diseases from seasonal influenza, according to new estimates by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US-CDC), the World Health Organization and global health partners.

1470313 2020-07-19 07:31:00 Don't worry about it Ken. Nothing to do with the thread any way. John H (8)
1470314 2020-07-20 00:21:00 way more than covid did here?

You were the one saying we didn't need the lockdown etc etc and now you are saying because we had BUGGER ALL here (because we did lockdown quickly and totally), that proves your point as far as the rest of the world goes?

Yes Ken - I give up too
