Covid-19 cases as of 3-16-20 compared with 2018 death rates for the Flu.
While Covid-19 has hardly competed its run, nor has the flu, yet for comparison with the flu we have the morality rate for the flu per state in 2017-2018 and total deaths, which I have provided along side the latest Covid counts (3-16-20 ) to the table below. Additional stats on the 2019-2020 Flu season are provided below the the table.
During the 2017-2018 season, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018, (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm) with older Americans dying at a rate of 169 Americans a day, or seven people per hour. (https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2018/older-flu-deaths-rising.html
And according to a later report by the CDC, for 2017-2018 season 80,000 people died of the flu in U.S, the highest death toll in 40 years. (https://www.usnews.com/news/health-care-news/articles/2018-09-27/cdc-80-000-people-died-of-flu-complications-last-season-in-us)
Meanwhile, for Covid, the NYT (3-13) sounded this alarm: Between 160 million and 214 million people in the U.S. could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to one projection. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die. (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/coronavirus-deaths-estimate.html)
Below is a list of states per currently reported COVID-19 infections (by CNN, of 3-12-20) in comparison with population size (note that variations in reported cases are partly be due to how comprehensive testing can and has been done). Use an online calculator here, (see second row under Percentage Calculator in Common Phrases, and remove commas in population figure) for cases as a percent of population.
In any case, I pray that this crisis, both real and inflated, works to bring souls to realize the need for help from above, for repentance and mercy from God through faith in the risen Lord Jesus.

Did you compose the PDF?
Yes: I just exported the web page I made on Apache Office to a PDF.
Yes. I think that will work as good as possible.
Sorry. I am a numbers person, believing seeing the numbers with a rational mind tells the story, even if there is no accompanied text.
they are getting ready to send most Americans cash asap. The economy has to be on the verge of going over the cliff.
Yep. You know when the helicopters dropping cash are over Main Street and not Wall Street that the Wu Flu Panic of 2020 is a black swam event.
I suspect eventually we will find out Italy was for all intents and purposes a providence of China in this outbreak of Wuhan Flu. Nowhere else in the world has seen similar outbreak. There has to be a reason why and we aren’t being told.
The 2017-2018 flu was nasty for sure yet it largely was a silent event from a media perspective. Very strange.
Part of that is the novel nature of this Unexperienced Feebleness Onset invading the country, placed under the MSM magnifying glass.
I just thought about Bree Payton who was fine one evening, and found dead in her bed the next morning in 2018. Flu. That was some nasty stuff.

Many Italians in Northern Italy have sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan and Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct flights between Wuhan and Northern Italy. This continued post outbreak, so is it mere coincidence that Northern Italy is now Europes hotspot for Corona Virus?
The murky reality is that the EU turned a blind eye to vast numbers of illegal Chinese immigrants working in Italian factories. The Open Borders EU will of course try to keep this under wraps, but reality is, the Chinese Mafia operate Italian textile factories with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants shipping made in Italy goods into China and elsewhere.
No kidding!
I tumbled off a thee step ladder onto concrete last year...I thought I was on the bottom rung...but I was on the next one up.
I lay on that cold concrete for a little bit wondering how badly I had hurt myself...and it made me remember how easy it is to do yourself in on any ladder.
Two, Its a manufactured virus by the Red Chinese which has the high officials spooked.
I go for number 2. I think Trump and other countries leaders have been given evidence that it's a Chinese bio-weapon. Everyone is on board with implementing drastic measures to mitigate it. Other countries are wrecking their economies and they don't have an election featuring Trump.
I see no substantiation for that conspiracy hypothesis>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its a long read, but well worth the time:

Great read, makes you think.
The country has lost its mind I am just STUNNED at how the MSM has been able to create this hysteria, I am also STUNNED that the American people have let this happen!
Lodi they can send American people all the money they want the Dems have have a new way to make sure the economy continues into a downward spiral CLOSE all businesses so the Americans cant spend their free money!! The country has lost its mind!!! Is THIS going to be the new normal every damn time a new virus enters the country??? OR only when there is a republican POTUS now they have seen how easy it is to CONTROL the masses!!
Maybe theres more to this than meets the eye.
Great read, makes you think.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I heard today that the President is entertaining the idea to give a 100% write off in one tax year for any capital assets left behind, to any US Corporation that wants to move its business out of China and back to the USA or one of its allies.That would pay those companies doing business in China to get out. Most want out now.
Hearing things like that makes one think that there is some validity to what the Great Game India Geopolitics Think Tank has published.
GOOD I am ALL for this get our companies out of that commie shit hole!!!
Consider the paradox: in the US there were 862,32 abortions in 2017 and liberals fight for the right to murder the most vulnerable, and even up to birth, and some favor euthanasia and assisted suicide while attacking the President for not doing enough to help the vulnerable (seniors).
Meanwhile they are for open border even though that often results in disease, damage and death and by certain persons that would be screened out, while supporting quarantines for those who may pass on a virus that may result in death. Yet not calling for such for a flu that resulted in the death of 80,000 Americans 3 years ago.
And they attack big phrama which at great cost produces medicine which they demand they sell at a cost that would not enable their level of research and development to continue while looking to them as saviors that will provide a vaccine.
