Well it may be greater (coronavirus) than the flu but more people have died from the flu so far this year than the coronavirus.

Only because there's a billion times more people infected with influenza. If just as many people are infected with corona than there would be a thousand times more death AT A MINIMUM.

True that but it’s not happened yet and the control is already in the works world wide.

“If just as many people are infected with corona than there would be a thousand times more death AT A MINIMUM.”


Douglas, you would aid your credibility a LOT if you didn’t go hyperbolic. The coronavirus is somewhere between 10 and 20 (and, perhaps, as much as 35-40) times more lethal than the flu (so far, mainly based on the Chinese experience). So, if the same number of people got the Kungflu as got the “normal” flu, then 10-20 times as many would die - NOT, NOT, NOT “a thousand times more death AT A MINIMUM.”

Facts are generally on your side on this issue - until you start exaggerating.
