22,000 Dead Vs. 12,450

[ProfessorGAC]

Early on I had a couple conservative wankers complaining about closing things down.
The whining was about the swine flu killing 12,450 people (one of them made up a number of 23,000) and we didn't do anything.
Leaving aside that aggressive action WAS taken, the comparison is now just whining.
The first death from H1N1 was April 2009. THREE MONTHS after BHO took office. He did not blame 43.
The last death attributed to this virus was April 2010.
So, 13 months, 12,400+ deaths. That's 960 deaths per month.
The first recorded CV death was February 29. That's 3 YEARS after DOLTUS took office. He blames everyone else.
So, 45 days and 22,000 deaths.
The comparison is now 960/month vs 488/day!! Or 488 vs 32 each day!
This thing is killing at a rate of 16 times that of H1N1.
That argument is settled, in all but the tiniest minds.

2. 12,450 dead over two years vs 22,000 Dead in three weeks

3. Actually A Year & A Month

CDC shows H1N1 numbers as first death, April 2009 & last, April 2010.
I used the same reference for first death from CV, which is listed as February 29, in Washington state.
That is how I got the 960 a month for swine flu. I'm, rounding.
Still a shocking disparity. Tells us this thing isn't "just the flu".
