Where did you get this from? I hope you didn't simply compare covid deaths to a typical year of ESTIMATED flu deaths as that would be wrong. The fact is that covid & flu deaths are measured completely differently. And when you add in the FACT that there is a financial & political incentive to maximize covid deaths (with no such motivation for the flu) comparing the two numbers is foolish.
While it will be years before we can say for sure the following consensus appears to be forming among infectious disease scientists. The worst pandemic to hit the USA in the last 100 years remains the Spanish Flu. The deadliness of the current covid pandemic looks like it will be on the order of the Asian Flu in 1958 and the Hong Kong Flu in 1969.
This means it was bad but not unprecedented and lock downs were not justified.
Sure maybe "in years" we can say for sure what we shoulda/coulda. Great.
Point remains Dotard's epically incompetent, callous, and dishonest handling is why you love him and why he lost. Oh well huh?
