And 80,000 people died of the flu in 2017. I don't remember a shut down then? At the rate of 22,000 right now, that would be 66,000 by the end of the year. I don't see the issue that requires the country to be shut down.
23,500 have died since March 13, at that rate it would be more like 200,000 by the end of the year.
Now that the math has been corrected does an additional 150,000 deaths change your mind.
During the pandemic of 1917 Spanish Flu. I believe 675,000 died. That's what we are trying to avoid.
You can get a flu shot........ many don't and some of them die, chew on that.
Many do get the flu shot and some of them die! Flu shot is not a vaccine and is nowhere close to 100% effective.
I don't think you understand what the "flu" vaccine is. From your definition that same vaccine should work for covid-19.
