he needs to zip it..did the same thing yesterday
Well it may be greater (coronavirus) than the flu but more people have died from the flu so far this year than the coronavirus.
Kungflu.net has it at 3.4% lethality
Complete garbage. You are being played again. Stop being so gullible.
*yawn*
still trying desperately to spread the fake news media induced panic over this nothing burger eh?
Message me when the death toll in the US from this exceed bathtubs!
ROFL
I heard him say the same thing the other day. I love Rush, but he’s not too good in the math department.
Last year, more than 80,000 people died of the flu and its complications in the United States, the highest death toll for the disease in at least four decades.

I stopped listening to Rush a while ago, but my reading states the mortality rate is close to 5%. Rush, is on one of his—I know I’m right no matter the stats. Weight, smoking, etc., etc.
However, it may be localized in a sense that it seems only Han Chinese are susceptible to it. 99% of the deaths have been Han Chinese, which implies a level of immunity for everybody else.
I think he is medicated.
Normal Rush thinks clearer than this.
Call him and say “Rush is wrong about...”
Bo will put you to the head of the line.
At least that’s what happened when I called to tell Rush he was wrong about the Flat Tax.
He said it yesterday, too! I was flabbergasted. I sent a tweet today pasting text of official world rate of 0.883% (US rate is much less) but will probably be ignored.
Rush is just doing what he always does, play the optimist. I admire him for that, but the reality is the virus is more serious than he’s suggesting.
Well, the WHO and CDC, despite their best efforts, have failed to lower the death rate world wide from 100%.
It’s a simple concept, really, but so many seem to struggle with it.
The flu is endemic throughout the world. Roughly the same number of cases occur from year to year with roughly the same results. Some years are worse than others. We know what to expect, more or less.
The Wuhanic Plague is NOT endemic throughout the world. So far it has affected a limited number of people in a limited geography, and elsewhere it is still (apparently) contained.
The idea is to keep it from becoming endemic throughout the world.
If Rush were to compare the figures for both the flu and the Wuhanic Plague in an area where both are endemic, say in Wuhan itself (like we’ll ever get real numbers from the Chinese, LOL), he might adopt a different outlook.
Rush may be right or wrong, like everyone who is making claims now.
No one knows what the eff they are talking about because no one knows the real numbers.
Which means the best to start getting a handle is to watch the stats from countries whose numbers can be trusted.
Whoever those countries are...
One thing to remember: Chinese death rates probably aren’t a good predictor of death rates elsewhere.
Ping!
Also...we don’t know what the number of infections vs mortality in China really is. It could be way higher. I think WHO needs to throw China’s stats out (as far as calculating rate) and just go with countries that report accurately and responded from the get go.
Rhinovirus [a cold virus] Kills 4500 people annually in the US.
Depressing the economy and markets by panicking people for the benefit of Chuck Schumer will possibly cost us our freedom.
