How is Wuhan *deadlier than the flu* when the flu killed 35,00 people in America alone last season and Wuhan is around 7,000 worldwide with signs of it dropping in China?

Common Core math?

Potential is every bit as dangerous as *intentions*.

If only high risk people had been asked to self-isolate, there would have been plenty of low risk relatives, friends, neighbors and volunteers who would have been available to help them. With everyone asked to stay home, who is a available to help those who truly need help?

From the very beginning of this, I have wanted to see detailed statistics compiled from cases resulting in death showing age, sex, race and whether the person had co-morbidities, smoking history and obesity. This data might have shown that the measures we are taking now have not been necessary, may be harmful to society.

comparisons with normal death rates for people with various clusters of contributing factors would also be very informative. Our media is acting like elderly people who have 2.7 co-morbidities ( the median number among deaths in Italy) would not have died except for the corona virus.

I can hardly believe what is happening in our country.

What portion of the increase in active cases is caused by widespread testing? UW, for example, is testing over a thousand people per day.

COVID-19 mortality rate is deadlier....

Reading is hard ?

Apparently, stats are harder.
