A pandemic virus such as the wuflu can not be at this time prevented nor cured. Given that and it's rate of infection nearing 85% this coronavirus could in effect infect entire nation's populace.
Now do you want to assume that the 2% mortality rate persists? Do you want to assume that the numbers are authentic now?
This very well could be the virus that taxes even the USA’s ability to treat mass infections.
So enough with the common flu nonsense here on Free Republic.
Also the flu related deaths in the US were highest in the 85+ age group. CV is killing people in ALL age groups, including (apparently healthy) doctors in their 30s.
Almost a million people were hospitalized during the 2017-2018 flu season. The vaccine didn’t do much good that year, that’s why so many got sick and died.
I know the numbers coming out of China are way too low.
I’ve been following this for weeks now.
I never said it was “the common flu”
If there are 400,000 cases instead of 40,000 and only 1,000 deaths, that's 0.25% If there are 40,000 and only 1,000 deaths, that's 2.5% Or 400,000 cases, and 10,000 deaths of which they have only announced 1,000 and hidden the rest. In that case mortality is 2.5%
You have to ask yourself which scenario is most likely. Of course those are round numbers and extreme examples. But if it spreads a lot more than thought, then the mortality is lower, or deaths are being hidden, or some of both.
