"2018 flu stats.............47 million cases......647,000 hospitalized.....67,000 died!!!" -Trump Girl Kit Cat

I agree with you that this is virus has been an over reaction from the start. It IS little worse then the common flu in Italy and China because they received "Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE)" both banned by the FDA in 2004 and 2012 which makes a mild infection life threatening decades later (given the cells have a long memory)

Why freepers are buying this media driven BS I'm still puzzled by. I can understand the Media driving this but why are freepers buying this. I don't get that yet.

I've talked with Jane Long about how she and many on this thread uses confirmed cases and claim this is the death rate when it's NOT.
The death rate is death/total contracted. It is NOT death/confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 is the symptoms from SARS-CoV-2)

To calculate the death rate you need figures on the total number of people that contracted the virus. Lets take the worst case Italy which received the ADE. From these reports that makes the SARS-CoV-2 death rate at approximately 0.2% to 1.3% of the population in Italy. Which is far worse then the flu. Again, this is Italy. It will be far less in the States, Germany, UK and South Korea which didn't receive ADE.

From this report "individuals have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 up to 28th March, representing between 1.88%and 11.43%of the population"

From this report: We estimate 86% of all infections were undocumented"

The death rate is not important to most people. There is a low, low probability this will kill you.

Death rates are incalculable until the pandemic is over, so basing anything on them now is not really going to get you anywhere.

The other part of this is the folks comparing countrywide numbers against the dozen or so hot spots in the country right now. They are not similar sets of numbers. The virus spreads, like weeds on a lawn. What NYC is doing today is what Chicago will do in two weeks.

The Flubros can’t do simple math or basic reading on how viruses spread.

Thank Rush and Trump for that. At least Trump has changed his spots.

But, they are not interested in learning or discussing. Whatever.

AGREED, many people in this country have already had this virus thought it was the flu stayed home and got well just like any other year there are many people out there with herd immunity!! This virus seems to be much worse with people affected with diabetes and pre diabetes, people that are overweight and the elderly!! The deaths in Italy 85% were people 70 years and older AND Italy is now saying that MANY, MANY of these deaths were NOT CV19 related although it has been reported they were!! The models in this country are being created by NY circumstances which is absurd the rest of the country is not anything like NY!! All I am trying to get through everyone’s head IS the media is reporting EVERY case, EVERY death why in the hell are these cases and these deaths more important than the HUGE numbers of cases and deaths in 2018 I will tell you why it was NOT an election year!! 647,000 hospitalized YET NY had not a problem WHY?? You know that 50% of these cases and deaths were in NY just because of the way people live in NY, and crickets!!!

I’ve talked with Jane Long about how she and many on this thread uses confirmed cases and claim this is the death rate when it’s NOT.

Steve...I’ve never claimed that the number of CONFIRMED CV cases are equal to CV death rate.

That doesn’t even make sense.

The death rate is still a moving target, due to inadequate testing, etc.
