Flu vs Covid.

With  Covid-19 around a lot of people think we have a lot more deaths this year compared to last year. And the years before, But this year doesn't have too many more deaths than 2019-2018. I personally think that the reason why people think there are a lot more this year is because of the pandemic. But the flu rate is down almost 76 percent compared to last year. The covid deaths almost equal the deaths of the flu. 

 

In 2018 There were 2.8 million deaths without covid-19  in 2019  there were 2.9 million deaths without covid-19 as well. In the 2018-2019 flu season   there were 35 million cases of the flu that had to go to the hospital. I think the flu season was getting worse and worse over the years and that's why the deaths kept rising . In 2020 the flu rate is down 2 percent. I think that is why the deaths are just as bad as last year. 

 

In 2020 the deaths were 2.6 million in november  that's almost 2-3 million less then the year before with only 2 months left. I think that everyone wearing a mask has decreased the flu rate and that covid isn't as deadly as the flu. I personally think that  covid- 19 isn't as deadly as we all think it is, I think that the flu is more deadly than covid but since covide is causing a pandemic that we all think it is a lot worse.

Do you think the flu is more deadly or covid-19 and why?

 

Do you think that the world should care more about the flu then they do?

 

Do you think the deaths will hit the same number as last year ??

    • I agree they are both deadly but I feel like the only reason the numbers are up for covid is because there isnt a vaccine out yet we are almost there but not yet. I feel like when it comes out the numbers will drop massivly but i could be wrong . 

  • I think it really depends on the preexisting conditions, I think that COVID-19 could attack people with preexisting conditions worse, but if people were healthy COVID would not hit them as hard. But the Flu could effect healthy people a lot more. I really think the World is doing enough for the flu. 

    • I agree i think that covid has more effect on people who has more conditions  while the flu can effect  healthy people nd none healthy people. I also feel like we should worry a little bit more about the flu or just a little bit less about covid

  • I really don't know I think that the flu and covid are about the same but I understand that you have to take a lot more causion with covid. Yes I think we should care more about it becasue to people who get it are like oh ok I have the flu I will be better in a few days but on some cases its not like that. No becasue you said that the flu rate form last year has gone down 76%.

    • I agree i think they are both deadly and very bad but I think  we should care about covid less because when we get a vaccine I think that the numbers will be down very much. I think we should care just as much about the flu as we do with covid 

  • I think that both Flu and Covid-19 are both deadly, because no matter people are dying from both aren't they? So in this case they are both deadly. I think the world should care a lot more about the flu, because if it gets to our elders then for them it feels ten times worse then when we have it. I think when they add up the numbers it might me a little over the number from last year. But all in all we can't really know. We can not predict the future, so all we can do is wait and see.

    • I agree I think that  they are both very deadly to elders but I also think that the flu should be more worried about or covid less worried about.  I also think the numbers might be down because the flu is down a lot because of all the masks and quartining. 

  • I think Covid is more deadly than the flu but not as deadly as its made out to be. No I don't think we should care about the flu. I don't think we should be caring as much as we do about covid. I think the flu deaths and cases will be down because of the masks.

    • I Think that we should worry less about both of the sicknesses I also think the flu is just about as deadly as  covid but its just not as worried about it because we have a vaccine. I also think that the numbers will be down because of the masks.
