From the article"

"...It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic....",  https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/1918-pandemic-history.htm

This was a problem!

Today you are hearing of everybody dying, and even some of them with Corona Virus.  Underlying health problems covers a lot of things.

I want to hear what the daily average death numbers are without the virus to see the difference.

"...Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,672...".  

  without Corona Virus. for 2017.  This is about 152.5 deaths per day in the USA 

The yearly death rate is about 863.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2017. (seems like a lot)

That's approximately 3,000,000 deaths per year without the Corona virus.

"...It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this [Spanish flu] virus.”

So from 1.5 billion to 7.8 billion in just over 100 years. Despite the deaths from two world wars and several purges of unflavored groups of citizens by their own governments.

Yep!  People are the one thing that we never seem to run short of.

By the way, my teacher in grade school said we would all starve to death when the worlds population got to 4 Billion.  An Expert told her that!

Is that the thing that clicks to tell you it's time for a brake job? Those are the brakes!

That looks like the backing pad...………  Nevertheless, that's a pretty good shot considering it's a moving target.

With that offset it was in the bag. But if they would have checked the pads when they first started squealing the pic wouldn't exist .tom. :cowboy2:

Verizon just gave me 15GB of data for my phone plan. For free. Because China Virus.

I have a 2GB/mo plan and usually use less than half that, but 15GB is nice.

Thanks, VZ. :supergrin:

Me too!  I got the 2 GB mo plan and only use about half of it.  On the Wi Fi Alot so it saves it.  For some reason though, It don't show on my Verizon App.  I just see my rollover mins and my regular 2 GB.  Oh well....

Most drivers hear brake squealing and are pissed at the obnoxious noise while not having a clue what it means.

Your are right if the people driving cars had any idea of what was going on.  I suspect most don't.

Wife walked in and said, "Can you do me a favor?".  

I said sure and picked up a tennis racquet, and said, "Bend over".

She had a hard time stopping laughing.

Women, you think you understand them and it's your fault your always wrong!
