I’m seeing estimates of deaths from the


Hong Kong flu at 30-100k in the US. And that was over a period of 2 years. Quite a bit different than 160k deaths in 5 months despite extraordinary social distancing precautions (generally) being taken. And NYC and Italy showed us what can happen if this thing is allowed to spread unfettered without any social distancing. Heck, NY alone had as many deaths as the low end estimate for the Hong Kong flu in just 3 months time.

You’re not seriously comparing these two pandemics are you?
