Is she talking world-wide or just in the USA?

USA
If that seems far fetched, consider that the so called Spanish flu is
estimated to have killed over 500,000 in the USA at a time when the
total population was much lower than now.
A month ago it was being reported that although serious, the covid-19
virus should be put in perspective with the yearly seasonal flu
that typically kills 10,000 to 12,000 yearly.
Now we are being told to expect up to 16 times that number dying
due to covid-19.
Too bad Americans have a total incompetent in the White House who in
his every briefing demonstrates how little he knows, how little he
cares, and whose only real concern is the fall election. MAGA. Trump
had that pillow moron speaking at the briefing yesterday...the con man
pillow man.
Trump introduced pillowman Mike Lindell as 'my friend,' and had him
speak at the podium set up in the White House Rose Garden Monday, in
an event that centered on the push for hospital equipment. Lindell, a
religious crackpot and drug addict, also spoke at CPAC.
'Boy do you sell those pillows it’s unbelievable what you do,' Trump
said, putting in a plug for the product that is a fixture in TV
advertisements, including on Fox News.
Thanks a bunch for hijacking my post that was focused on how the
covid-19 models are generated and turning it into another of your
anti-Trump diarrhea moments.Â* You snipped everything of importance.
I am putting you in quarantine ... i.e. the "Pig Pen" where you
can commiserate with the only other occupant, Nomen Nescio.
Sick of your bull**** and hope you get the help you obviously need.
I'm sorry my realistic comments about Trump and his team of asskissing
incompetents offends you.
And here's a bit of realism for you...No one and I mean no one can do
any more than guess at the number of COVOID-19 infected individuals we
end up with in this country or how many will die. There are just too
many factors to consider and the previous models, including what we know
about the 1918 pandemic, are not relevant.
Here's what matters:
Stay away from everyone.
Go out only when it is necessary and protect yourself.
Get the damned White House to force massive production of PPE, masks for
civilians, ventilators, and more research on a preventive vaccination
and meds to "cure it," and stop with the mindless daily briefings and
asskissing.
Ramp up the production of tests, and make them available for free to
everyone as many times as they need to test themselves.
