A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now killed over 200,000 people worldwide.

More than 2.89 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding the scope of their nations' outbreaks.

And there’s only what, 400,000 people in the world!!

The black death, if correlated percentage-wise, would be about at least 1 BILLION dead and yes that would be in the early stages.

40 percent of Europe was wiped out.

What percentage of 7 billion is 200k?

I don’t think this Far’s is that big a deal for most people , but for some people it’s real serious

I worry seriously about the third world - I think it’s going to get hit hard by this thing and those people are going to be really screwed , because they don’t have good medical care or anything like that

For example I feel like what’s happening in Ecuador right now I’ve seen some videos there’s just body bags lining the streets - that’s gnarly dude!

In a place like India Pakistan Indonesia places with all those people poor people stacked up on top of each other filth in the streets this thing could run through like ——
I don’t even want to to say!

Pray for the poor and the ignorant and those that don’t have access to all that we have in this great nation of the United States of America

Worldwide the annual flu deaths range from 250,000 to 500,000. So there’s that....

We destroyed the greatest economy planet earth has ever seen over ***a normal respiratory virus season***.

By our supposed definition of a pandemic, don’t we have one or more every year with flu viruses?

Oh no! 0.0025% of the world, many and perhaps most of whom would have died anyway in the next year or two, and while at the same time total deaths across all causes are down.

This Covid isn't nothing. Still, its real damage isn't due to its own powers, but due to a hysterical lemming sheeple reaction to the shadow it cast from a malignant light shown behind it by a fearful, fear-mongering, and leftist press and its puppeteers.

That was a horribly and awkwardly worded couple of sentences ... but true nonetheless!

All over the world, nations have put their populations on lockdowns. This doesn’t happen with seasonal flu. What do they know that you don’t?

Make Red China pay.

Comparisons to the Black Death, last year’s flu, etc. don’t matter. If some private company - through their own negligence - killed 200,000 people, they would be made to pay. Red China should be treated no differently.

But how to make them pay? At a very minimum, put a tariff on Red Chines goods.

Less than half of swine flu casualties. But in a much shorter time.

U.S. allegedly : 50K/330M (by CDC accounting old age, car accidents, hit by lightning, etc. of anyone who has ever heard of the Wuhan virus) = 0.0152 %

Exaaaaactly.

Better question, what does the derp state know that we don't know?

Even better question. How come some people cant figure out what's really going on here?
