Knock off the real data. We only want screams of:
“we are all going to die thanks to the evil and stupid Trump and his deplorables.”
Everybody should quarantined and locked into their homes.
“Last year in the US 80,000 died of the flu.”
All of this Corona virus vs. influenza thing reminds me of the early ‘90s when I was working at a resort in south Maui. There had been an earthquake in the ocean near Japan, and ... YIKES! ... a tsunami was headed for Maui. Sheer panic. People were calling friends and family on the mainland to say their goodbyes. Those who were able to leave the beach areas and escape upcountry did. (It was scary, I admit.)
Then the tsunami hit. USGS (or whomever monitors tsunami) decreed that it had been 8”. Sooo ... the tsunami was 8”, and 90% of waves during history, and forevermore will be, are BIGGER than 8”. So panic over an 8” wave (coronavirus - no deaths in US), but be perfectly OK with, 3’ waves (80,000 deaths in US). (And how did they know the 8’ wave was “the” tsunami wave?)
People need to get a frickin’ grip.
No...in 2018-2019 It was about 1/3 of that. About 32,500.
35 million infected.
About 6% of total hospitalized.
About .0091 deaths.
It’s a lot, but nowhere near the numbers I am seeing kicked around today.
