Average age of 63.7 and filled with fat fucks and people riddled with health issues. Wow, what a pandemic. Too bad everyone who died in the annual flus of 2017 and 2018 didn't get their own article even though multiple times more people died.

Give Covid-19 the rest of the year and a month or two (since it didn't really get a good start until Feb or so). Maybe it'll top the regular old flu and take a fair amount of the obese with it. Fingers crossed.

Maybe. I would bet it's been spreading since November and yet China flu has killed only 50,000 people or so in 3-5 months. Regular flu kills 500,000 people every year so China flu is well behind. I don't know why people are so excited about a flu that might a few fat people through pneumonia when you have heart disease and diabetes decimating them on a daily basis. Flu deaths don't even register, even in a bad flu season.
