no kidding, YAWN.
CDC: (regular flu/ 2019-2020 - 56,000 deaths from flu and related; 250000 in hospital. 2018-2019 - 61,000 deaths. US figures
Corona Virus - 3,000 dead, 80,000 in the hospital worldwide.
Yeah..”Yawn”..
Leading Harvard expert (talked about on Tucker 2 nights ago) estimates between 40 and 70% OF THE ENTIRE WORLD will contract COVID-19.
At a minimum (the 40% range) assuming a 2% mortality rate (which by all accounts is probably understated by potentially a lot), that’s 2.8 MILLION dead Americans.
“YAWN”, indeed. Kinda tired of hearing this all being poo-poo’d. This is probably the singular greatest health issue ANY of us have ever seen, or ever WILL see.
China has a bridge they want to sell you....cheap
I’m thinking that this is being weaponized to crash Trump’s stock market. #DeepState
AHHHHHHHHH. Why do I keep seeing this “argument”??? COVID has not spread yet. You can’t make any comparisons until it is as widespread as regular flu. A 3 year old could understand this...
And you trust the Chinese government to be accurately reporting what's happening in China in regard to the flu???
If so, I have some really great waterfront land to sell you in FL.
Honest.
And when it’s YOUR turn to get the corona virus, I suppose you’ll be just as lackadaisical about it?
So, according to studies this corona virus is more transmissible than the flu, and there's currently no vaccine. Antiviral drugs may help, but that's not yet certain.
What is known is that with a 70,000+ case history, mortality in China is 2.3%. Let's say that's reduced to half in the US, or 1.2%. That would mean that if 100,000,000 Americans contracted it (~1/3 of the population), we could expect 1.2 million deaths.
Also bear in mind that COVID-19 seems to be more incapacitating than flu, which means more effect on the economy.
Let's hope it doesn't spread too much, and that we find a vaccine fast. It's nothing to take lightly!
