Most of the deaths are the very old an very young with weak immune systems.
2% is about 20X worse than seasonal flu.
Well those are CDC numbers and are obviously provided by swamp creatures that are downplaying them to stop you from buying masks.....and I’m sure other reasons that are being funded by the CCP.
It’s not nothing. The market crashed because China is closed. But the actual virus in this country is being hyped to harm Trump
“Less than 2% infected actually die from it.”
IN third world countries where the flu death rate is also very high.
But wait until next week!!
COVID-19 is not even close to endemic in the USA (”community spread” was just confirmed Wednesday)...if COVID-19 goes endemic (20,000,000+ cases) it will be bad...that is what they are trying to prevent.
Compare hospitalization and ICU rates.
Check how many beds these areas have.
It doesn’t have to do anything other than crash the system.
What fresh idiot is this author?
Flu shots are pushed hard every year!
Going by that, there’s over 480,000 deaths from flu?
It may be not much in the US, for now, but in Asia it really is a big concern.
What it is, is a complete apples to penguins comparison.
Are we looking at the next deep state hoax to get rid of Trump?
That’s 10 times the flu rate and most of the older people vote Republican.
This can devastate our economy & cost the GOP control.
Minimizing this is stupid, IMO.
You should be ashamed of posting something so stupid.
Seen any other information from the Chinese Communist Party that we ought to be aware of?
Deaths in car crashes average about 3000 a day.
Many “cases” showing no china connection. I think this is the flu that has killed the weak for years. But now that all flu victims are tested, there is a name for it.
And the conspiracy nut in me thinks the media is playing this long established flu as Corona to make trump look bad and markets crash.
This is a new virus that is spreading globally and humans have not adapted to it yet. The 1918 flu killed 40 to 50 million, then humans adapted. Even today we are not entirely sure what stopped the 1918 flu.
I guess we’re just imagining all the dead people in, well, a bunch of places.
Even if everything you say is true this will saturate and then overwhelm our health care system if it gets loose, and we have community transmission on three continents - and no information about what’s happening on a couple of others.
So telling people to go back to sleep is actually causing harm.
This is not the end of the world, but the CV is not the flu. It has a higher transmission rate, higher mortality rate and it can infect others from asymptomatic carriers.
So if you want to ignore this, feel free, but don’t interfere with rational people taking reasonable precautions.
How many of those flu deaths were actually the WuFlu, and no one knew?
