CDC statistics: (regular) flu deaths this past year - 56,000. 250,000 hospitalized. (Regular) flu deaths the year before - 61,000. Flu deaths for the CoronaVirus worldwide - 3,000. CV hospitalizations worldwide - 80,000.
Let’s all take a deep breath on this one. Rush is right - WHO is whupping it up? For what reason? Couldn’t possibly be to take down President Trump, now could it? He’s got a roaring economy, but ‘suddenly’ it’s being threatened and he has cut the budget on the CDC.
Stinks to high heaven imho.
Or could backfire spectacularly. Seems to be more likely.
I am not sure if we can compare the CoronaVirus to the Flu. CoronaVirus is just getting started.
The flu virus has been rotating around the world mutating each year.
The Spanish Flu did not do it’s damage until the next Fall/Winter flu season 2019/2020.
We might not know what the CoronaVirus will do it just escape China at the end of Flu season. It could mutate to some more dangerous or less dangerous to make a come back in Fall of 2020. Best to be prepare for it until we know for sure either way.
WHO is downplaying it, as are Trump and Rush.
