I already answered our question. I won't repeat myself. But feel completely free to read my reply again.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Let me translate from 6ix's bullshit into engineering speech. 6ixish bullshit: "Without giving any actual numbers, I'd say that until conclusive data about actual death counts comes out for 2020, there would be absolutely no reason to give these numbers a second thought until they were at least approaching the typical death count for disease and/or old age related deaths in America. Clearly, we're not even close to that right now."

The translation of 6ix's bullshit into real life: For the Boeing 737 MAX, only 346 people had to die before that plane was grounded. In 2018, a total of 2,839,205 resident deaths were registered in the United States. If 6ix was in charge of grounded airplanes, 2,839,205 would die on the 737 MAX before it was grounded.

I realize that 6ix might not understand that it is impossible to die in a 737 MAX crash if all 737 MAX aircraft are grounded. If you cannot tell the difference between a MAX and a Boeing 737 Classic/Next Generation, then you are incompetent or Trump. Likewise, it is also impossible to catch & die from Covid-19 if all Covid-19 disease carriers are quarantined. Quarantined is equivalent to grounded. If you cannot tell the difference between a Covid-19 carrier and non-carrier, it is because you are Trump who doesn't want Covid-19 testing since testing makes you look bad. By the way, Trump wanted to rebrand the MAX with a new name.

Trump rebranded Covid-19 to Chinese Flu / Kung Flu / Wuhan Flu. Where did that idea come from?
“What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?” -- ‘Rebrand’ the Boeing 737 Max? Who is Trump trying to trick?

Now we know why the fake job where you make your fake money isn't as a translator.

Idiot.

In the deadly fall wave of the 1918 flu pandemic, millions of people were doomed because they didn't know what we know now about how viruses and respiratory illnesses spread.

We might face a similar fate if some people continue to ignore what a century of scientific progress and hindsight have taught us about ending pandemics.

The 1918 pandemic transpired in three waves, from the spring of 1918 to the winter of 1919 — ultimately killing 50 million to 100 million people globally. The first wave in the spring of 1918 was relatively mild. A majority of 1918 flu deaths occurred in the fall of 1918 — the second, and worst, wave of the 1918 flu.

Covid-19 hasn't "claimed as many lives yet as did influenza. Basically, around 675,000 people died in the US by the end of the 1918 pandemic," said Dr. Jeremy Brown, an emergency care physician and author of "Influenza: The Hundred-Year Hunt to Cure the Deadliest Disease in History." "That would, today, be around 3 million people in the US. The good news is that we haven't seen those numbers — of course, the numbers are really quite appalling.

"But, of course, the story that we're talking about isn't over yet," Brown said.

‘There’s no help coming before the election’: Indiana’s RV capital faces its worst coronavirus outbreak alone
During a politicized pandemic, officials in places like Elkhart County feel they have few options

“People were still in a place where they were willing to listen and it worked. We saw the cases come down. We actually did get it under control,” said Michelle Bache, an emergency room doctor and executive at Elkhart General Hospital.

Now the county is facing a much more dangerous outbreak.

America's failed response to the pandemic: A three-part Washington Post documentary

The daily average case count is 37 percent higher now than during the summer surge. The positivity rate for coronavirus tests is 50 percent higher.

New coronavirus cases skyrocketed 40 percent in just one week this month, to nearly 750 cases, Mertz said at a recent county health board meeting. Deaths are on track to double this month. And local hospitals are struggling to handle the crush of hospitalizations.

The difference now is that Indiana has been almost completely reopened since late September. While a statewide mask mandate remains, bars have reopened. Limits on restaurants have been loosened. Students are in classrooms. Public and private gatherings of up to 250 people are allowed.

With the relaxed rules, Melanie Sizemore noticed a change.

Signs at stores reminding people to wear masks and social distance began to disappear. She saw fewer people wearing masks at the grocery store. She heard about more weekend events featuring hundreds of people.

“The governor opening up the state helped people think covid is gone, not as bad as it was,” said Sizemore, who leads the maternal-child health program at the county health department and serves as the agency’s spokeswoman.

She took calls from residents who insisted the pandemic was a hoax. She listened as they complained that masks didn’t work or the death rate was exaggerated.

“We’re in a bad place right now,” Sizemore said. “But how do you explain that to people who don’t believe it’s a problem?”

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.
