I’m not the least worried about this as I am the flu....spoke with a friend out in Eastern Pa. tonight. She said there’s two strains of it where she lives and a lot of people are sick for three weeks really bad.....and then some come down a second time with the other strain.

THe CDC chart shows the flu is mild this year, at least in terms of percent of cases hospitalized. Of course, that could reflect last year was a bad year.

But the flu is widespread right now...

I suspect the Coronavirus fatality rate is a lot higher than the 2% they are telling us. Over 10% of the 99 patients died. and 57 of the 99 are still in the hospital as of 1/30.

Only 2% of the confirmed cases have died, but only 3% have recovered, while 13% are in critical condition. THe 3% might be low. Because I’ve only recently started seaing reports on it. So it may be incomplete. And there may be a lot of people who were sent on, that they’ve not followed up on.

If half (pure guess) of the people who are critical die, the fatality rate shoots up to 8.5%.
