Those are some interesting numbers, but they don't really add up... If the 1969 US population was 202,700,000, then 4.94% would be just over a million. That would be the entire worlds death toll from the 68 flu. But, the US only had about 100,000 total deaths from the 68 flu, 1/10 of the world total, so .0494% would be closer to the actual US death toll. Further, the US death toll for the first wave in late 68 to early 69 was about 33,800, or about one third of the total outbreak over two waves.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 7:10 pm Here are some numbers for you. The population of the US was 202,700,0000 in 1969. That gives us roughly a 4.94% death rate. The population of the US is at 331,200,200 in 2020. That gives us a death rate of only 2.4% so far. The vast majority of deaths were the winter of 1968-1969. By the winter of 1969 to 1970 it had greatly faded. Making it worse than the present round of China Flu. In addition, the hospitals at the time were not being offered financial incentives to inflate the numbers as they are with Corona. There is great incentive for hospitals to call any and every death Corona at the tune of 13K per pop. 38K per pop if they can stick you on a ventilator just before they kill you through malpractice, as is happening in New York hospitals.

Once more the 100,000 US death toll was for the entire period from 1968 thru 1970. The current covid-19 death toll in the US has grown from 9,132 reported dead on April 5 (according to the numbers gathered by Philip964), to over 76,101 as of May 8. That's an 8 fold increase in just over 4 weeks. Again, I hope the numbers slow as quickly as they accelerated, but that's in the hands of a power much greater than you and me.
