"So far only .0001166486% of those in this country have been identified as confirmed cases. Death from the virus so far is only .000015571% of those in this country.

So far .11142857% have been hospitalized by the flu in just the U.S., and deaths have been .00657143%. This has been a milder year for the U.S I might add.

So far only .00478361% of the world has been confirmed infected and only 00020915% have died."


That's some angry FluBro math right there. It doesn't even begin to make sense, though. Really a foolish argument right from the get go.

Here is some reading for you to get up to speed on what's happening:

"Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE): Coronavirus (COVID-19) response"

No anger at all, just the facts.

It doesn't even begin to make sense, though. Really a foolish argument right from the get go.

The facts, and figures I provided, show that less, no make it way less, than 1 percent of the nation has been infected so far by CoVid-19, and an even smaller percentage of less than 1 percent has succumbed. Even when we look at the worldwide numbers, they too represent that less than 1 percent have been confirmed infected, and even smaller percentage of less than 1 percent have succumbed to CoVid-19.

When we look at the flu, in just this current season, we see the numbers of hospitalized, hospitalized means they were very serious cases of flu, are larger than the confirmed for CoVid-19, percentage wise. The same holds true for deaths by flu vs CoVid-19, the percentage of deaths from the flu, in just this country, far exceeds the deaths from CoVid-19 worldwide.

No hysteria and panic generated for the flu, which is thus far much deadlier than CoVid-19.

I looked at your site, but I will not bother to examine it, but I will gladly listen to your argument. Not that I really care what Britain's rational for their response is to CoVid-19. Present your case.

Regardless, it still does not change the fact that the flu has been far more deadly, at least to this point. Only time will tell if that remains the case or not. But we sure see how devastating the panic has been, not only to this country, but to the world. I will weather this economically, but it's others who won't that I am concerned for.

So go ahead and try to convince me that this is far worse than the flu and justifies so much panic and severe draconian measures. I'm not going to do your research for you, especially since you are so obviously well informed by this site. I am more than willing to listen to your argument though.

Oh, as for being a flu-bro, I have no clue what the even means. You can explain that too if you decide to engage in further debate.

“That’s some angry FluBro math right there.”

You made the MISTAKE of treading into the territory of one of our self-anointed experts. To them, we are Amoebas, due to our intellectual inferiority. They work in the field, and therefore know FAR MORE than we can even comprehend, and have little time for our common sense, and they show it in their treatment of us PIONS.

I’ve run across them in the past. I simply label them as ‘special interests’ and immediately DISCREDIT whatever they have to say, as they’re answering to their outside contacts, not us, and not even what they may really think (if you got them alone). Their mission is to PROTECT those they are close to (and themselves), rather than have an open mind to how we’re all getting screwed over.
