Coronavirus Kills More Americans in One Month Than the Flu Kills in One Year

Although there is still much we don’t know about the coronavirus, we know enough to say that it is far more dangerous and deadly than the flu. It took twelve months and 61 million infections for the H1N1 swine flu to kill 12,500 Americans in 2009–10. The Centers for Disease Control estimated that the seasonal flu killed 34,200 Americans during the 2018–19 flu season. In 2019, car crashes killed 38,800 Americans.
As for the new coronavirus? On March 20, the death toll in the United States was 225. By April 20, the coronavirus had killed more than 42,000 Americans.
Last week The New Atlantis produced a chart that starkly portrays just how quickly COVID-19 became one of the leading causes of death in the United States:

Correction:

The number of people attributed with Coronavirus and died, exceeded some imaginary bad number. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I still say the numbers are fudged on this. A lot of places are counting everyone that is dying as a virus death. Medical staff have admitted that.

Sure. Why don't you volunteer to go help out at any hospital that has Covid patients?

Northwest Woodsman: Could this result from every death in the country has been blamed on the Virus? My guess is that if one were to find a way to sort out actual deaths caused by this virus and deaths by pre-existing conditions, pneumonia, etc., the results would reveal that the numbers would be substantially the same as in past years. But, that would ruin the political tactics by Pedomarxist democrats to destroy our economy which is the only way they would be able to come close to defeating President Trump. Nothing else has worked so they are placing all their hopes on this.
