There is definitely something wrong with the whole corona virus story.
Been thinking that for days now.

Swine flu deaths in US [2009...Obama]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that swine flu infected nearly 61 million people in the United States and caused 12,469 deaths. Worldwide, up to 575,400 people died from pandemic swine flu.


I don’t remember stores closing or anything else of the sort.

In this case, blame and clear causality can be established.

The media causes the public to panic, not the other way around.

He testified to Congress that the death rate for the coronavirus is ten times that of the seasonal flu, a claim without any scientific basis.

Yeah, right.

The influenza typically has a case fatality rate of about 0.1%. The coronavirus is approaching 4% fatality. That is a LOT higher than the flu. This, along with the easy transmissibility, makes Covid-19 very concerning.

I would expect a medical doctor to know a little more about infectious disease.

On Mar 15, there were 162,687 cases and 6,065 deaths. On Mar 16, those numbers increased to 182,405 cases and 7,154 deaths. That is the highest daily jump in cases and deaths that I have seen since I started keeping a spreadsheet.

I would say that the infection control measures are completely appropriate. No one is immune, so without controls, the disease would just sweep through and kill millions.

But 9/11 was real, just like the current pandemic. The concern is what should be the public response. Another concern is this epidemic started in December, and the US has been ill prepared to deal with the crisis.

January would have been a great time to seal the borders and end sanctuary cities, then let the democrats deal with the public outcry for opposing these actions.

It’s an absolutely classic move of authoritarian governments (you know, like ones with massive internal spying) The classic move is that they are always screaming about some dire external threat to justify their depredations and policies against the will of the nation.

This is a farce

Obama and the media swept H1N1 under the rug.
Obama could have cared less how many Americans were infected or died

I agree with that 100%.

” The coronavirus is approaching 4% fatality. “

We don’t know that because we don’t know how large the infected population is.

When they say 4 percent fatality rate, they’re saying 4 percent of the people with symptoms. Yet if hundreds of thousands of people have the virus but don’t exhibit symptoms, then the number of deaths is a much smaller percentage of the overall number of cases.

Problem is, we haven’t tested many people - and even now the government isn’t only going to give tests to people with symptoms. So we’re now trying to find out how many people have the virus but have no symptoms.

4%? Well I heard that 83% of statistics are made up right on the spot. Spanish Flu was about 2.5%. The corona Y2K cold is most assuredly NOT 4%.

I'd say your suspicions are accurate.

The following kind of puts things in perspective.

CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, there have been:

36,000,000 – 51,000,000 flu illnesses

17,000,000 – 24,000,000 flu medical visits

370,000 – 670,000 flu hospitalizations

22,000 – 55,000 flu deaths

And how about the 2018 flu season in the U.S.

CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in U.S., highest death toll in 40 years.

Same here. I could be wrong but to me it feels like something dark is riding/using this "wave".

You can’t convince the crowd that says nothing is wrong and President Trump is a fool or liar. Remember in their mind it’s about what they financially lost in the marker. Idiot's.

Italy cases should be alarming but noooooo. It’s just a cold with evil big gov grabbing power.

Case fatality rates are, of necessity, calculated from the number of diagnosed cases. They are not calculated until all cases have resolved, which is impossible to do while the pandemic is growing.

It looks to me like a lot of people are hoping that Covid-19 has already spread throughout the population, and that it is only causing a tiny number of cases. This is wishful thinking. The virus recently emerged—no one has ever had it before, and the hope that it is already widespread and not very serious is not founded on any data.
