Quick though belated update: A week or so ago US deaths from Covid-19 surpassed 300,000. That was in about ten months since the first US death in early February. With daily deaths averaging ~2500, we're now up around 320,000.

Without comorbidity BS accounting the 'rona death rate is less than the usual flu bodycount. Except curiously this year there is no flu. All cause mortality is the same or a bit less in 2020. You are free to be as scared as you want, or as scared as the TV tells you to be. FYI being scared is really bad for immune system functioning.
Merry Christmas everyone. And have a blessed 2021. I'm not expecting a racing season in '21 but if we shut off the TV and go to the airport we will get some great soaring in.

There was plenty of flu this year (estimates of 20-40,000 deaths for the 2019-2020 season), but
very little so far in the 2020-2021 season (that's normal, early in the season, which starts on
week 40). Take a look at the chart (scroll down to "National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) Mortality Surveillance"), which shows pneumonia, flu, and Covid-19 deaths:

Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance

Mortality for people dying with flu-like symptoms is up substantially.
