Way overblown.

1) It is the flu, not typhoid.
2) Primarily the elderly are at high risk.
3) Wuhan is in central China. Most manufacturing is far, far from here.
4) Most of those infected seem to be primarily of Asian decent, regardless of country, and regardless of the MSM blackout of this information.
5) More people die from the garden variety flu than of the Coronavis.
6) Some people don’t mind the drama surrounding a potential scary unknown.
7) 99% of the people who get the virus fully recover.
8) It’s the flu.

It’s the flu, which killed 50-60 million people in 1918.

Researching my family, I found a great-aunt who died, along with 3 of her children and her mother-in-law in the same week.
The newspapers of that period were half obituaries, and the other half snake-oil ads to survive the flu.

But it’s not just the elderly at risk. The doctor that first sounded the alarm died from the virus and he was only 35.

Right its a bio warfare agent

2) Primarily the elderly are at high risk.
nope, plays no favorites

3) Wuhan is in central China. Most manufacturing is far, far from here.
But just handful of hours by planes that left 60-90 days ago. And we will feel the loss of those manufacturing facilities especially in medicine.

4) Most of those infected seem to be primarily of Asian decent, regardless of country, and regardless of the MSM blackout of this information.
The Italians, Egyptians and Iranians will be glad to hear that.

5) More people die from the garden variety flu than of the Coronavis.
Misnomer, as this is far more virulent that the ‘garden variety flu’ and may soon be approaching par with the Spanish flu

6) Some people don’t mind the drama surrounding a potential scary unknown.
Some people don’t keep up or have their head in the sand.

7) 99% of the people who get the virus fully recover.
Not COVID19 with a current death rate hovering between 3-4% (annual flue death rate 0.02%); recovered are often carriers and can have a second bout which is usually fatal - organ failure from the stress of the first attack.

8) It’s the flu.
We all wish is was but is not, especially the CCP, Xi and a host of grieving Chinese people.
