No it isn't. People that have it and show no symptoms usually don't get tested. The numbers are heavily skewed.
There are varying degrees of infection anyway, so a line has to be drawn somewhere, and there's nowhere to draw it but the tested pool. By the way, even fewer people test for flu.

Yet the flu has a vaccine and many years of learning methods to treat it, yet it still kills 60-80k per year in the US alone. This whole thing is overblown hype and nothing more.

You probably just want more publicity for the flu but Corona has easily killed 130000 people in the US already. Overblown and hype are not the terms that come to mind. But sure attempt to play it down further.

I always will because it's nothing but BS.

Almost twice as much BS as the flu is for you then.
Yeah.. a virus we have no idea how to treat and that we don't have a vaccine for kills more than something we've got 100 years or experience dealing with. I know I'm shocked by that.

Multiple times more dangerous than the other stuff we just about manage and could be better at.

If it doesn’t wipe out half the world’s population, I’m not interested.
Tasty sand, indeed.

It's 10-60K, usually on the lower end of that.
But it's not like anyone advocating lockdowns cares which virus is "superior." Hospitals were overflowing with coronavirus patients in places that didn't lock down quickly enough, that's the problem. What did you think about this a few months ago, and were your predictions accurate? Cause I thought this was all BS for like a week in Feb.

"There are several new skin tones that are proposed for emoji like palm up hand, heart hands, handshake, person with crown, pregnant person, and more, along with several miscellaneous items."

Also pregnant person (a.k.a. mother) with mustache. Fittingly, they already had 🤡 & 🌎.

I was

Theres so many emojis i never use and don't think about. I don't mind having a pregnant transsexual in the mix for the people that are happy to have it. That said there will probably be someone complaining about the color of the pullover being red.
