Ok, now prepare yourselves as this will NO DOUBT be on the news tonite.
The CDC just issued new preliminary death, hospitalization, and illness numbers for the virus sweeping the country and taking citizens in it's deathly wake.
The OFFICIAL numbers for the season are (estimated) 38-52 Million Ill with the Virus 18-26 Million will need medical visits up to 730,000 will NEED Hospitalization And UP TO 24,000 to 62,000 will die of the virus or related causes due to the virus.
Here is the LINK https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm
Oh, wait - those are the numbers for the regular old Flue from LAST YEAR.
Now, don't you see how out-of-control this whole hyped coronavirus situation is? Yes, its a virus and people have died. But a MINISCULE amount compared to who dies last year from the regular FLU.
Oh, the new breathlessly says up to 500,000 may be hospitalized with the coronavirus - hey, 700,000 were hospitalized last year from regular flu and we handled it with no problem.
What a bunch of gullible idiots we all are.
Bring out your FluBros!
This isn’t the flu! The virus isn’t as deadly as that.
But it sure is fun seeing all these virus experts at FR!!
We are entering a economic depression for this? The media has much to answer for, shouting “Corona Virus” in a crowded country. Irresponsible, and probably illegal.
This is BS...total BS...needs to be removed.
And 2 trillion down the drain that WE DON’T HAVE.
That’s less than the 2017 flu season.
0.1% death rate.
You?
Here’s something to consider, 3 million people die in the U.S.A. every year for all reasons. This virus, in a population of over 300 million, freaks out everyone like the sky is falling because 1,000 died. Remember that over 50,000 die every year from car crashes, and over 250,000 because some hospital staff makes a fatal error that kills the patient. Now libs want to panic like you are the most evil person ever because 1,000 deaths, a number easily surpassed by murders in this country is so bad?
Meanwhile Fox Business just fired Trish Regan for basically pointing out how the media has been using this as a reason to go after Trump
The big problem is that people mentioning the fatality rate aren’t realizing that this is only those who get actually sick from the virus, for most of the population, this is like nothing to them or a cold.
Whoops! read it again.....disregard!
YIKES! I did not know!
I found this article....
Fox Business Network announced on Friday that it has officially “parted ways” with anchor Trish Regan following her controversial rant against what she called the “coronavirus impeachment scam” earlier this month.
“We thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors,” the network said in a statement. “We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule for the foreseeable future in an effort to allocate staff resources to continuous breaking news coverage on the Coronavirus crisis.”
“I have enjoyed my time at FOX and now intend to focus on my family during these troubled times,” Regan said in her own statement. “I am grateful to my incredible team at FOX Business and for the many opportunities the network has provided me. I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my career.”
Source?
Because this completely unverified un-sourced claim supposedly from the CDC is completely at odds with the actual data

If it hopefully ends up being exceptionally less virulent than we have been told - Trump will be blamed for crashing the economy.
Could you quit trying to interject some sanity to the conversation? We are trying to panic here. I don’t give a crap that the old fart died of the flu, let’s say it was covid-19.
Well since they’re “experts” and maybe even “scientists” and no doubt despise Donald Trump I feel confident in saying they ae doubtless way high here.
OH MAN! you so got me. Well played
I think the end result is that this blows up the media and blows up the Fed and blows up China.
I’m thinking there is a real silver lining here.
