Again I heard this before. Now back to the markets, the flu didn't shut down businesses and overwhelm hospitals, but this has and it will get worse.
That is because we have learned to live with it. We will do the same with Covid. We always do.
Never heard of hospitals needing refrigerated semi trailers on site to store dead bodies because the morgue is overflowing either...it seems absolutely ludicrous to say “just another flu”.
Not the same. This new virus needs to be introduced to the human biome, which unfortunately means lots of people will die while that is happening. A larger proportion will become infected and survive and become immune.
Where are flu deaths occurring, at home? If so, so will Covid eventually.
From CDC
"Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States,
including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure.
This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.
On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers."
BTW, where are the lung cancer patients die? Everyone of the lung patient and heart attack victims go the hospital. The hospitals are NOT overflowing with Covid, Covid is just adding to the 500,000+ preventable deaths very year.
Don't fix the 500,000 preventable deaths and any new virus will do the same. Get real. You OMG people are the ones on crack.

Man, who wrote your programming. You are the funniest troll bot I have seen. I wish I could code something like you.
This is why the hospitals are in trouble, not COVID!
"In 2014-15, there were 475,000 hospital admissions for conditions estimated to be caused by smoking, a 5% increase since 2004-05. These included 28% of all admissions for respiratory diseases and 48% of all admissions for cancers that could be caused by smoking."
Selfish smokers are killing us!

I am glad you find the humor... but I hope you also find the wisdom.
And diabetics. In the UK, where they have nationalized medicine, they spent only £2 million treating diabetic patients ~a decade ago. A decade later, they now spend £55 million.
In 1970s US, we spent 4% of our GDP on healthcare, now we spend 17%. Publicly traded healthcare companies excluding insurance equals $3.3 trillion. I won't bemoan that though because our healthcare is now tip top. Recovery times have drastically decreased for things that used to take much much longer in the 1970s.
