Maybe China decided it was time to cull the herd.

Deliberately misleading.

The .1 mortality for flu is based on all cases not just hospitalizations as the corona is reported.

Flu mortality of only hospital cases is greater than 10 percent for the 2017/18 season.

Hopefully China will suffer some karma and wipe out their population. Nasty people, government and culture.

Hopefully take out the globalist traitors from the US over there as well who sold out our countries workers.

I don’t care.

Uh no. The Spanish flu killed 20% of those infected. However, that number is suspect due to poor record keeping in many parts of the world. 20% would mean that 10 out of fifty die. If the Chi-bug was doing that there would already be mass panic by .gov(s).

I would say that makes it much worse. They didn’t have anywhere near the skills back then to keep sick people alive that they do now.

This means that for every 50 people who catch the infection, one will statistically die.

I will admit I'd never heard of statistically dying before, but it sounds awful. "Drill, yer number's up!" What am I going to do without it?

No, this isn't the "Spanish" flu, for which nomenclature every Spaniard should be allowed to thrash a newspaperman somewhere. "Fort Riley Flu" doesn't have quite the sizzle to it but is marginally more accurate, although of late even that appears not to have been Ground Zero. The really interesting question with that one isn't how it started, it's why it stopped. That may give us a clue as to just how imperiled humanity is to epidemic disease. No zombie apocalypse, sorry - I've had my hopes dashed by science.
