That’s cool.
Where do you get the numbers?
“I’ve been assured by many virologists on our board that this is just a seasonal flu.”
No. You were told it wasn’t the %$@#@$ epic hair-on-fire disaster you retards kept screaming that it was.
And now that you and your family is feeling it in the pocketbook, and that the government is leaning real heavy on your freedom, now I see a lot of people I follow on other sites toning it back, and the number of scare articles on FR decreasing.
Not so much fun anymore, is it?

Flu hospitalizations generally happen over the course of several months, not all in a 2 week period.
Moving these items of interest over
NETHERLANDS
In the Netherlands, more than half of the people in intensive care with Covid-19 are aged under 50, IC association chairman tells
@ADnl
.
The family of a 16-year-old boy in intensive care has asked the Netherlands to “Wake up and take this virus seriously.”
France -
Jérôme Salomon, Director of Health:
...
Young people are also affected
...
According to Jérôme Salomon, “we often have young people, half of the people in ICU are under 65. Just over 10% of deaths are under the age of 65. But there are few cases among minors. ***From the age of 25, 30 year old, there are increasingly severe forms and no underlying pathology.”****
Oh the hughmanity.
Scroll to bottom for list of their sources.
You can copy the data from their spreadsheet directly and paste it into one of your own to work with, which is what I did.
I stumbled onto comparing new deaths to total deaths and deriving a ratio for a metric which seems to give a fair indication of how well countries are doing in fighting the Corona virus. Of all the data columns possible to use, and I've experimented with several (e.g., total cases, new cases, total deaths, recovered, etc.), these seem to give the least unexplained variation between countries, and seems to reflect what we're seeing on the ground in each country.
I've included China, but I personally don't put a lot of trust in the validity of their numbers. South Korea, by far, seems to have had the most success. And compared with the EU, the US isn't doing too bad either - though we have a long way to go to get to where South Korea is (no new deaths). One big supersize is Iraq, but I'm not sure how valid their reporting is.
I did not include countries with less than 10 fatalities, and the data is a couple of days old now.
Getty Images are forbidden on FR, friendly reminder.
“I’ve been assured by many virologists on our board that this is just a seasonal flu.”
I hope it does not become seasonal, that could lead to 60 being the average age of death. We need to lower Social Security age to 50.

They are talking tax holiday. And “substantial” checks issued to every citizen.
“Going big”. I am so impressed by President Trump.
Relax, people like you who need to post symbols $#!%¥ rather than words come off as unhinged.

Infusing several trillion dollars into the economy via various means...Fed...Treasury...checks to every American etc.
All while productivity is in a death spiral.
When the US pulls out of this, inflation will be the new wildfire.
Leverage low rates now and buy real estate.
BUMP for later reading and possible commenting...
So is this tax free money they’re giving out?
