I notice you idiots can never refute the fact that influenza A and B are killing more people than Coronavirus!

You Coronavirus Groupies sound just like Liberals and their dire warnings about Globull Warming!

See post #55. It doesn't need to be refuted because it doesn't mean anything.

I notice you ‘but, but, but flu’ idiots still don’t get it. You’re like those gender confused idiots that can’t tell which bathroom they should use.

It isn’t the flu (0.1% mortality). It has a higher mortality rate (3-15%), higher transmissibility rate (R0 estimated to be around 6, where the flu is 1.3), is contagious before the carrier even shows symptoms, and there are no native immunities. Even ignoring the latter three factors, if it were to become endemic (which you seem to be advocating), like the flu, it would kill a million people in the US. Adding in the latter three, it would be hard for anybody to avoid it and it would kill many millions. Just in the US. Which is why we need to contain it.

I advocate for people to prepare and be vigilant. I don’t think this is the end, nor is it a nothing-burger like you *Flu Groupies* claim. Containment is key and at some point, quarantines will be part of the mix. If people get caught without adequate supplies when their community gets quarantined, well, I hope the government will deliver food, but I wouldn’t count on it. You are, on the other hand, whistling past the graveyard. You are part of the problem.

Chinese agitator, perhaps? Antifa? Bernie Bro sowing discord? One of those disease-spreaders worried prepared people might limit your fun? Most likely you’re just an idiot.

The death rate is more important than the aggregate number. With the flu, it’s around 0.1%. With Corona, it seems to be at least 2%.
