Total Drama queen hystronics by an utterly irrelsonsible Fake New media.

Total death Coronvirus world wide: 2711

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Total deaths annually in just the US from Flu:

While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

This. Flu and its near relative, pneumonia, have much greater death rate tallies. Maybe so many are freaking because it spreads so fast? Maybe because it is new-ish and our immune systems are not prepared.

Wait til it hits those Democrat slums on the West coast.

Our fake news media ain’t a wart on the ass of the Chinese Communist Party, whose statistics you seem to believe.

Unless you think the CDC is run by the news media, I think you are wrong.

I am American. That said, I currently am in Vietnam.

There are currently 16 (now no longer active) cases here. But they are VERY prepared. I am now, too.

I think it is time to prepare, if you haven’t yet.

First off, this is the CDC putting this out. Not CNN.

Second, Coronavirus is spreading much faster than the flu. And even if it only kills 4% of those it infects, that will be in the tens of millions and rival the 1921 Spanish Flu.

Third, there is going to be economic disruption. The supply chains will be disrupted and the tourist industry will be hurt. No one is going to travel with this thing spreading around the world.

Yes. This is a problem. And yes it will hurt Trump if he doesn’t have a handle on it.

flu (low range from your stats)

12,000÷9,000,000=0.001333333 or 0.133333% mortality rate

coronavirus

2,708÷80,407=0.03367866 or 3.367866% mortality rate

individual countries - just the modern and more trustworthy ones

No worries

Let's run some estimates on how many people might die in the US over the course of this pandemic.

Assumptions:

1. The epidemic in China seems to be peaking now or soon, according to WHO today. To account for a delay in the peak (and a delay in infected people dying over the next few weeks), I'll multiply the present infections and deaths by a factor of 3, so (Infections:Deaths) = (3*80,000 : 3*3000) = (240,000 : 9000).

2. The Chinese have underestimated/lied about infections and fatalities by a factor of 20, so these numbers become (4.8M : 180k).

3. The US will have proportional infections and fatalities as China. In other words, we have about 1/4 of the population of China, so our numbers would be around (1.2M : 45k), so we'd have around 45,000 deaths after making some estimates about how much the Chinese have lied about the scope of the virus, using the present death rate, and some wild-ass guesses.

This would rank the pandemic as a bad flu season here, which is bad, because these deaths are on top of what we already have due to influenza. The problem isn't the number of deaths--it's the disruption because this disease has such a high fatality rate compared to the flu (3-4% compared to about 0.1%). This will cause severe changes in behavior, like staying home all the time, school closures, travel restrictions, etc., to avoid this disease.
