If you do not like flu seasons, then from May to May. It is still just 60k deaths per may up to May cycle over the past two years.
Those kinds of numbers are not worth all the hype we have had over the same time period.
@sh76 saidstop your whining you snowflake and get the damn vaccine
I said I'd do this in another thread, but I'll try to make this as short as possible.
The herd immunity threshold is 1 - 1/r where r is the spread rate. As a simple example, if r is 2 (meaning each infected person infects 2 others on average), then the HIT is 1 - 1/2 = 50%. If 50% of the people are immune, then one of the 2 people to whom an average person would spready it to ...[text shortened]... s being stressed in a given area), non-pharmaceutic interventions merely kick the can down the road.

From the end of May 2020 to the end of May 2021, there were 500,000 COVID deaths in the US. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us

It’s like a flu or a common cold. True herd immunity is, indeed, very unlikely.
So, completely different to, say, smallpox, which could be completely eradicated by vaccination (smallpox was comabatted by chickenpox, has DNA and because of this a slow mutation rate… even though it could evolve rapidly).
@no1marauder saidMany people died as a result of the lockdowns, not covid. Drug overdoses increased for example. You are improperly assuming the deaths were the result of covid.
Like most of Eladar's COVID claims, the idea that most of those who died from the disease would have died shortly anyway has been throughly debunked.
In fact, the death rate in the US increased by 15% in 2020 almost exactly mirroring the number of COVID19 fatalities.https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/03/10/cdc-finds-covid-19-drove-15-percent-spike-in-death-rate-475219
Now that half of this year is over maybe you can present a death rate for 2020 that is accurate and we can go over those numbers again.

@no1marauder said"Flu seasons are irrelevant as far as COVID"
No, I pointed out it was a lie.
A) Flu seasons are irrelevant as far as COVID;
B) The peak of the 2021 flu season was over before COVID started killing in large numbers;
C) And 600,000 died (so far) from COVID. If flu deaths were counted like COVID ones were, they'd be a tiny fraction of that number even IF we used your faulty methodology and used two flu seasons ...[text shortened]... erican.com/observations/comparing-covid-19-deaths-to-flu-deaths-is-like-comparing-apples-to-oranges/
That is not true.

@shavixmir saidNo, herd immunity means you do not get the virus and spread it to others. Just because most are not getting sick doesn't mean they are not infected and spreading the virus to others.
With herd immunity they mean that nobody’s getting seriously sick from it anymore.

@metal-brain saidYes. And if nobody is getting sick, then it's a moot thing, isn't it?
No, herd immunity means you do not get the virus and spread it to others. Just because most are not getting sick doesn't mean they are not infected and spreading the virus to others.
Moron.
@shavixmir saidNo, herd immunity means that very few people will get very sick since very few can actually get sick.

Just because 90 percent will not get sick does not mean the remaining 10 percent cannot get very sick or even die.
You are welcome for the lesson.

@shavixmir saidVaccinated people are getting sick moron. That is why Fauci is telling vaccinated people to wear masks again. DUH!
Yes. And if nobody is getting sick, then it's a moot thing, isn't it?
