You must have been asleep through the 80s.

This is what I do know:

MERS killed 35% of everyone it infected. It was like the death angel itself. That one I remember because we had outbreaks every spring.
SARS killed 10%
COV-19? Looks like it’s running 1-2%, with some outliers but that’s global average.

So why no lockdowns and quarantines and mask mandates and toilet paper runs with MERS or SARS? 1-2%? What's the fatality rate for tuberculosis? Malaria?

How can you not see the demanded social response to the current situation is out of proportion to previous epidemics?

That’s not a “planet wipeout” but it is a very, very large number of graves

Then why aren't we on a global crusade regarding cancer or diabetes like we are with this one? Cancer knocks off about what, 1 out of every 2 or 3 people in the developed world? If response was proportional to claimed threat, then either we wouldn't even be hearing about COVID or we'd be in a global society dedicated to nothing but eradicating cancer by any means necessary, period.

12 weeks of this would have been all it would take. No shutdowns. Not even much of a slowdown. Masks and distancing.

Explain Sweden.

At 200,000 and counting by the way deliberately spreading is to me no different from deliberately killing.

How many people has "government" deliberately killed? Are you this up in arms about government? What about alcohol? I know as a Muslim you are in favor of temperance/prohibition but are you this adamant about it as you are with coronaflu?

About that 200,000...

Hospitals have already been caught reporting "COVID deaths" that simply were not. The state of Ohio is being sued, in part over the claimed fatality rate. People dying of alcohol poisoning have been listed as "died from COVID". 94% of COVID deaths are actually "died WITH" and NOT "died FROM". The CDC coding allows all sorts of people to be listed as dead from COVID who have no business being listed as such. There is BIG $$$ to be made, not to mention political points.

There are no 200,000 "dead from COVID".
