The hysteria that's causing havoc on our 401k's and IRA's right now, and soon business financials and employment due to all the closures, is primarily due to what people perceive as unknown(s) and an alleged "30 times" mortality rate compared with the flu. That is pure B.S. right there.
On the one hand, we are told wuhan-19 is more infectious/easier to get that influenza, and then on the other hand, we are told that there are only ~1,350 infected with it VS 34,000,000 to 49,000,000 who have/had influenza this season. Yeah, sure. It's so much easier to get, yet the infection rate after all these months is 0.003% of the flu?
The first documented case of Wuhan-19 was Dec 01, 2019. And that person was unlikely the only one with it at that time...just the first to be documented with it. That means Wuhan-19, with a ~14 day incubation period, has been around since at least November 2019, perhaps even October.
Couple that with tens of millions of travelers into our country from November 2019 to the various travel bans, and there was ample opportunity for this thing to spread around just like the flu.
Ya just can't have a more virulent virus with that much exposure, for that long of a period and have only a couple thousand with the virus. It's just impossible.
Either Wuhan-19 is far, far less virulent than influenza, OR there are far, far more who have/had Wuhan-19 in our country. The ~1,350 number is pure B.S. and this thing isn't the deadly virus that warrants the hysteria and shutdowns going on in our country.
And regarding, the WHO ("lead" by a guy who has a history of covering up disease outbreaks) is about as competent as the UN.
The flu is already all around the world always. It's always catching. Thousands of people at a time have it at any one time. More people get it in winter months. This virus had to start from ground zero and has ALREADY spread worldwide in just a few months.
