Something isnt right.
In the US, 80,000 people died in a 4 month period from the flu, mostly in February.
And 900,000 were hospitalized due to serious complications.
Why wasn't there a shortage of hospital beds then?
Why werent they piling bodies into box trucks, especially when there were so many more dead...?
Flu killed 80,000 people this past season and put 900,000 into the hospital

that looks utterly unprofesional - possibly an ethics violation - and the most assanine attemt at materials handling and rescource management possible
if i was tasked to do the job - in the most inept possible way - i am unsure i could " beat " what is portrayed
From the moment the local medical examiner began to report heat-related mortality figures, political leaders, journalists, and in turn the Chicago public have actively denied the disaster's significance. Although so many city residents died that the coroner had to call in nine refrigerated trucks to store the bodies

read my freaking reply to you - it was quite clear
900 / month = 24 / day = 1 / hour
current death rate is 3 / hour
do you really fail to comprehend that ??????????????
ETA - you have zero logic or analysis - just an utter iability to do basic maths - and realise that 3 bodies / hour is a lot more than 1 body / hour

Millions of American lives is not worth shutting it down?
Those millions was based on doing nothing at all like a normal flu season, but we are doing many things and each one is working to lower the transmission rate. At some point we come to risk vs reward as all things are based on. If the risk is to shut down the country for extended period to lower lets say from 1 million to just 50k then we should shut down, if the risk is to lower from 70k to 50k then the risk to the economy could be much worst than the virus.
