I guess it would depend on which agency is giving out the statistics and if there are enough numbers of this virus outside of China to give an adequate assessment.
We know we can’t really trust what China says.
I think the huge quarantine might tell us more than what is actually said.
The numbers associated with the new virus are not terrible so it is being over hyped.
However, being something new it’s good to watch closely for trouble.
So it’s something to keep an eye on, but nothing to lose sleep over.
Need to see how things develop over the next month or so.
Normally I ignore these stories until after they have run their course - and my life was completely unaffected.
6. The overall flu-associated hospitalization rate was 24.1 per 100,000 people, up from 19.9 per 100,000 people a week prior. The CDC has recorded 7,013 flu-associated hospitalizations since Oct. 1, 2019.
So the CDC "estimates" hospitalizations are 20 times higher than the actual recorded number?
I came down with it last weekend, but I didn’t bother going to the doctor. There’s no point. There’s nothing they can do until it runs its course. Started taking Tussin to clear out my lungs. It works pretty well.
I can’t speak directly to the coronavirus or these numbers; I can tell you that I picked up a bug on travel the Saturday before Christmas, and it mutated into one of the worst respiratory infections I’ve had for several years. I fought it with OTC meds for two weeks and refused to go to a urgent care clinic, preferring to wait until I returned so I could see my family doctor. The earliest he could see me was 72 hours because his waiting room was packed ike a can of sardines - it was like everyone got it at once. It took Prednisone to open my airway up, Azithromycin to fight the bug, and a bottle of codeine cough syrup to help my throat heal. It’s been a month now, and my voice is still raspy, but I’ve otherwise flushed it out of my system. Oddly, the one symptom I didn’t have was a fever of any sort, but I’m still drinking double my usual fluid intake (not factoring in my daily beer consumption).

End date was too early to derive anything from it re: any influence of Chinese-imported flu.
The CDC is not interested in controlling disease. This is why they say nothing about the open borders, against quarantines, think it’s great you can poop on the streets in San Francisco as if that will not eventually lead to disease, are for bio sludge being spread on crops in the State of Washington, and think CO2 is bad even their is what trees and plants breath. The flu vaccines have almost never been the correct strain. So why do they push fly vaccines if they are the correct strain?
Getting back to your question. I think the Corona Virus is the first of many potential pandemics that will have eventually lead to forced vaccinations or medical tyranny that are trained with a slow kill that will eventually kill off most of the population. This is why they have secret vaccine courts , and at the very same time ignore the points I listed at the beginning.
CDC does not control disease. That is all you need to know.
I live in area that has a large Asian population.
Thank you for your low crime rate and exceptional work ethic.
P.S. - please leave indigenous diseases in your home country.
11 deaths so far in DFW
Here’s hoping it is only the flu.
Imagine that. Right after the illegals get back from visiting grandma across the border and suddenly the schools have a break out of the flu. Happens every year at this time.
Once again colloidal silver kills all viruses and bacteria
you can buy it or make it yourself
And don’t let any of these idiots government shills tell you that it’s going to turn you blue where there’s any condition called argria or any nonsense like that that’s all government misinformation
Silver is in 22,000 approved medical products - all X ternal of course
I am not a total anti-vaxxer, but too many vaccines are being given to children. Polio, MMR, and maybe 1-2 others are fine; but parents of young children are being told their child needs 10-20. That’s nonsense.
Every year, my primary care doctor at the VA and my oncologist at MD Anderson ask me if I have gotten a flu shot. I tell my doctor I got one at MD Anderson, and tell my oncologist I got one at the VA.
I have very limited contact with other people, and none in crowded spaces. If there is a flu bug going around, I just don’t go to church for 3-4 weeks.
