Roughly 30,000 American’s die every year from the seasonal flu. When it’s gets up to 30,000 you can start worrying, until then ignore the media hype.

The left wing media typically bloviat’s every time an unknown pathogen appears. Think SARS, think H1N1... Did you get SARS or H1N1? If you did, you were one of the very few worldwide.

Think of this... There are 1.386 billion people in China and there are little over 84 thousand people who have been diagnosed with this virus and 2,773 deaths ... That many people likely expire every single day in China suffering brain hemorrhages while passing stools.

Relax, you’re going to be okay.

Okay, look at your numbers...30K Americans dead with how many sick. That is a low number. Now, take a look at the Chinese Coronavirus Plague. The rates in areas like Italy are something like 20% mortality. The rates elsewhere seem to vary from 9% and up. The point is, that within the limited infected groups, the death rates is incredibly high. Much different than the fraction of flu victims that die.

I don't know why people keep trying to compare to the flu to dismiss the Chinese Coronavirus. Besides, if it was just a simple flu, would China have closed cities, bulldozed roads, quarantined people in homes, and so forth? Seriously, consider their response and tell me that you think that is a normal response to the flu.

I got H1N1 after getting the so-called vaccine and spent a week in the hospital. Not fun.

Except the numbers the Chinese are reporting are not accurate.

Did you get SARS or H1N1?

H1N1 infected a billion people globally. Probably not the best example to chose. Fortunately, H1N1 had a very low mortality.

Think of this
There are 1.36 billion people in China and over half of them are on lockdown govt patrolled quarantine, including Bejing
The only reason some actories are working is that sick people are being ordered to work

It’s not “ just the flu”, bro
