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.
Everybody is exposed to the flu multiple times each season. We have some herd immunity and vaccines. So only about 15-20% of the population gets it over the 7 months it is really active. Nevertheless, 0.1% of the people that get it die.
Relatively few, less than 1%, of the people of America have ever been exposed to CCP-19. Every exposure to the CCP-19 virus is new. Nobody has immunity, there is no vaccine. So up to 100% of the population could get it. In the 4 months it has been going, under the best circumstances we have been able to manage, it has killed about 2% of the people that get it. 20x as deadly as the common flu on a per case basis.
Today, in the US, more people died from CCP-19 than die on an average day from the flu in season. Our HCS is scaled for bad flu years. Not 5 or 6 bad flu years all at the same time.
We don’t even know for sure that CCP-19 has a season.
But, sure, let it run amok. What could go wrong?
Fox everything is dead to me.
What I want to know is how many flu/pnuemonia cases are being outright blamed on Corona?
Stop with your dangerous and stupid claims.
More people died today from CCP-19 than die on an average, in-season day from the flu.
Absolute numbers due to containment and mitigation don’t make CCP-19 less dangerous than the flu.
Ditto!

I have noticed over the last few days that the “recovered” stat is disappearing. Last week, WA state had more recovered than died. Today, no recovered information is available.
Add it to the $22 trillion in sovereign debt that you "don't have", and the $60 trillion in consumer debt that you "don't have", and realize that most people's "wealth" consists of promises to pay for their entire lives by your great-grandchildren, and perhaps you will arrive at the view that the money system is unstable.
And I get into arguments here with people who still believe we still have an honest media on TV. ALL of it is leftist!
It comes from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm
More people died today from CCP-19 than from car crashes or the common flu. And fewer than 1% have been exposed.
” hey, 700,000 were hospitalized last year from regular flu and we handled it with no problem.”
Tell that to NY and New Orleans.
Keep laughing.
Welcome to the idiot list.
Panic, exaggeration, distortion, avoidance, dishonesty, hidden agendas, politicization, weaponizing...all are so unbecoming.
Yawn. What is the point of the endless, breathless, hysteria publishing this crap? Just wash your hands and eat your Cheerios.
Where did you get THAT number?
CDC should go back to promoting diversity, leave the science to someone else.
“We are entering a economic depression for this?”
Maybe President Trump has used his jui-jutsu to turn the crisis to his advantage.
Now that Congress has authorized the biggest economic stimulus package in human history, the President can pop the panic bubble, and let the stimulus go to work, sending the economy roaring right through the election...
61,000 died in the 2017-2018 flu season. I have predicted from the start and I still stand by my prediction that when all this is over and we calculate the numbers. The TOTAL of FLU + CoronaVirus this year, will be less then Flu alone was in the 2017-2018 flu season, which wasn’t even news worthy at the time.
But it wont matter, because our masters will just pat themselves on the back and claim what a great job they did, and how millions would of died if they hadn’t done what they did.
There is no winning the argument with these people, no matter what happens, they will claim they were right.
