Herland Report: Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: The media seems to only report Covid-19 related deaths, but do not compare these numbers with regular seasonal influenza. If that was done, everyone would see that regular influenzas kill many more than Covid-19 so far has done.
650 000 people die yearly of a regular influenza, according to the WHO. So far, approximately 100 000 have died with Covid-19. Even the Italy numbers for Covid-19 are lower than regular influenza death rate for Italy. More details below.
Let us therefore look at some numbers, also for malaria, HIV and other illnesses, writes historian of comparative religions, author and founder of The Herland Report, Hanne Nabintu Herland.
Covid-19 has been written about over two billion times so far in the media. Ebola was mentioned 16 million times only. The media focus is extreme.
The fear of death from its grip has caused the biggest market crash in modern history.
Worldometer info illustrates the craze pr March 25, 2020 as regular influenza numbers soar far higher than Covid-19 in the same time span, approximately 230 000 died from malaria. No WHO, “pandemic expert” and billionaire Bill Gates or Western leader “pandemic” alarm over that.
In the same time span, 250 000 died from suicide. No alarm from the WHO on these numbers. Approximately 300 000 died in the same time span from traffic fatalities, 390 000 from HIV and 600 000 from alcohol.
As many as 1 100 000 died from smoking in the same time period. Why did not Bill Gates raise the alarm about that? 2 million died from cancer in the same period, and as much as 2.4 million from hunger.
650 000 die yearly from regular influenza
Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: 650 000 people die yearly of a regular influenza, according to the WHO.
The US numbers for yearly deaths due to regular flus are, as CNN reported in 2018 around 80 000 dead in the U.S. alone.
This year’s US Center for Disease Control and Prevention numbers estimate that, as of mid-March, between 29,000 and 59,000 have died due to regular influenza illnesses, often the elderly and medically frail with one or two other serious illnesses.
Regular influenzas versus Corona Covid-19
Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: Compared to Chinese numbers from Corona, the 2018 US influenza was much more pandemic. Yet, no media pumped that story up back then.
Why was the media silent then and roaring now? Can WHO downplaying numbers and later posting alarming reports have anything to do with it?
Pr. March 15th, China reported a total of 80.849 sick from Corona, 3.199 dead and 66.931 recovered, six to eight weeks peak.
Even considering Chinese probable under reporting, the numbers are still low compared to regular influenza total numbers.

Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: As pr March 25, 21 297 deaths globally were attributed to Corona while 113 034 deaths in the same time span happened because of a regular seasonal influenza.
Pr. April 6, the number of deaths attributed to Corona have risen to 70 000, still far less than the regular flu this year. This must be seen in one large context as previous pandemics.
With reference to the numbers of dead from regular influenzas in 2019-2020, regular flus have so far killed many more than the Corona virus.
No one talks about the approximately 113 000 dead from regular flu, but the whole world erupts in catastrophic fear over the 22 000? Update April 6, 68 000 dead with the Covid-19 virus.
Over a four year period from 2013-2017, 5.190 000 influenza cases were recorded in Italy.
In this period 68 000 deaths in total were attributed to influenza epidemics, Italy showing a higher mortality rate among their elderly than the rest of Europe. The highest number of yearly influenza caused deaths in this period was 24 980 in 2016-2017.
The total Covid-19 attributed deaths by April 1st, 2020 for Italy is is around 15 000, according to Worldometer.
Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: The Covid-19 as especially contagious and a harsh variant, the number of deaths still seems to be within the norm, but on the high side.
WHO has been remarkably silent about the regular influenzas and not identified all of these as “pandemic” with the same alarming emphasis as the Covid-19.
The need to protect those who are prone to die with the virus, such as those with several other diagnosis is vital.
Yet, our national leaders chose to adhere to the unprecedented panic over a bug to the point that they chose to shut down Western national economies, causing the largest financial break-down in a century or more.
Billionaire Bill Gates is now world “pandemic expert”
Seasonal flu kills many more than Covid-19: Microsoft founder and one of the world’s richest men, Bill Gates is the corporate private owner who is now the favored “expert” explaining how pandemics work in Western media. Needless to say, Microsoft soars at the moment as everyone is at home. If Gates presents a vaccine, he is also set to gain enormously.
With Bill Gates as the trusted analyst, the microbiology scientists at the forefront of immunology and virus research are not heard.
An alarming interview with Germany’s forefront virus expert in microbiology and a world authority on the subject, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi – sends a chillingly apocalyptic message:
That the Western government shut down is a completely wrong and extremely dangerous response to the Covid-19 virus.
He says that self-isolating the whole population is “grotesque, absurd and very dangerous. All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide caused by fear.”
HIV, Ebola, malaria, SARS mentions in media versus Corona
The numbers: The Covid-19 Data Pack reveals that Ebola was mentioned in the media 16 million times. The HIV virus mentioned 69 million times, SARS 55 million.

The fear of death from its grip has caused the biggest market crash in modern history.
Worldometer info illustrates the suspicious craze with numbers as pr March 25, 2020.
Not only does the regular influenza soar way above the death tolls of Corona (as demonstrated, this is also the case as of April 6), but in the same time span, approximately 230 000 died from malaria. No WHO “pandemic” alarm over that.
In the same time span, 250 000 died from suicide. No alarm from the WHO on these numbers.
Approximately 300 000 died in the same time span from traffic fatalities, 390 000 from HIV and 600 000 from alcohol.
As many as 1 100 000 died from smoking in the same time period, 2 million from cancer, and as much as 2.4 million from hunger. These numbers were also not enough for the WHO to react and cause media frenzy. The last chilling numbers, approximately 10 million died from abortion.
