In a regular flu year thousands of Americans died per week.

“On February 10, 2018, Fortune reported that influenza in the United States was killing up to 4,000 Americans a week,”

There only been 68 deaths in the USA reported for the corona virus.

The news media is getting a lot of businesses and individuals to not do activities etc. This will shut down the economy.

Has anybody realized that will cause an economic depression? And now many people will die because of an economic depression including children?

So why are we all allowing the news media to shut down the economy?

I’ve never seen anything like this i mean the media controlling people getting them to lock themselves in their house to kill the economy.

Stop watching the news. They certainly are NOT cheerleaders but this exact same thing is happening in every country all over the world. It's a real thing. President Trump is saying the exact same thing. It's not media driven.

The flu numbers are just estimates. I am not kidding. They just make up numbers for that. Yes, there have been few deaths here from this new virus. I hope we keep it that way.
