Those are facts.
This is not accurate. Blasting 2-3 % across the different age groups is very inaccurate .
WHO research suggests that the CFR for 50 and under was est 0.7%.
In younger age groups it drops under 0.4%
In short, it’s believe to be impacting the elderly and those with significant comorbidities the most
More people are likely to and have already gotten the flu in the US than the Coronavirus.
Those figures are what is derived from what little detail is coming from Communist China.
Fact, NOT ONE American has died from this “so-called viral crisis”. Not one. The number of CONFIRMED Coronavirus cases in our country is a minuscule number even you can count on your hands and toes.
The majority are people contaminated are Chinese in a province with 2 Bio-Weapons labs in proximity to a large Wet Market.
The few “supposed” US local unknown origin of infection cases are still unconfirmed.
They are both in California and, the first was in a town that hosts a military base that is a point of entry and point of isolation facility. The second supposed unconfirmed is less than 100 miles from this same facility.
Again, not one person in this country has died from this virus.
Yet, every single year approximately 35000 Americans die from the common Flu Virus without anywhere near this hysteria. You are being played by the anti-Trump media and the dems. This is Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine,...all over again.
“This virus kills between 2 to 3 percent of those who get it. Those are facts.”
Only if you believe that any of the numbers coming out of china are “facts”. In the U.S., for example, zero people who’ve contracted the virus have died ... is that not a fact?
“ This virus kills between 2 to 3 percent of those who get it. The flu kills less than 1%.”
So using the current numbers you are saying with certainty that the virus will be killing at least 50,000 and up to 200,000 Americans this year. I’ll take that bet. Say $10k?
No, they are statistics.
No they aren’t. No way to account for those that get it that are asymptomatic or have only a mild reaction, requiring no treatment.
Those are not facts. They are guesses based on flawed & incomplete data.
A % death rate is calculated by divide cases by deaths. Many of the cases of the current coronoa virus are undetected, just a mild illness like a cold or sub-clinical. The seasonal flu testing kits are in abundance and the calculations are based on Nations where people are going to doctors & being tested. Only the most severe corona virus cases are presenting to medical attention and that skews the presumed death rate by excluding all the mild cases except those where screening was performed a very small%.
“This virus kills between 2 to 3 percent of those who get it. The flu kills less than 1%.”
This virus kills between 2 to 3 percent of those who get it in China. I suspect it may be lower in first world countries. Not enough data yet.
