Corona virus delivered to your door?

[QUOTE="hogpatrol, . It's all anti-trump MSM fueled bovine fecal matter.[/QUOTE]

All Trump fueled ? I did not know he could start this in China and spread so much into Italy. If anyone is spreading this panic it is the socialist democrats. But then again, for the last three years everything, around the world is Trump's doings, so many keep saying..funny how one man can create so much world wide on so many things.
 
The more research I do on this subject, I have come to the conclusion that there is something to worry about. The death rate for Corona is about.03 percent. Last years stats for the flu season shows that the death rate was about.02 percent.

Before thinking that the .001% rate is reasonable as compared to Corona, remember that the numbers are skewed because of the numbers of people who received a vaccine last year. At this time there is no vaccine available for Corona.

Edited

I used the wrong number for those contracting flu in the 2018 - 2019 season.

There were 35.5 million flue cases and 34,200 deaths. That would equate to a death rate of .001 death rate. I am sorry for the m misinformation.

How many remember the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic? US deaths = 12, 469, over 500 thousand deaths world wide, I dont recall this kind of panic, the difference? A President that the media liked, your chances of dying in a car accident today is about 1 in 77 but that doesn't stop any of us from driving, the media is trying to infect us with panic and panic will do much more harm to the country than this virus will ever do.

Most likely you'll get it. Most likely you'll be fine. Many won't be. Currently it is early days in the US - a mere 1,663 recorded cases and only 40 dead. 2.4%. Now imagine if the same number of people who get the flu get Covid 19 which is not at all unlikely given its transmission and symptom pattern. Do the math.

Better to just get it over with. Like the measles and mumps in the old days. Once you know one person with it, gather everyone else around and place them all in the same room. A few weeks later you'd have some good statistical info.

500 million seems to be typo? I see the top estimate to be 575K worldwide here.
...but you are correct - I don't remember too much about the H1N1 pandemic
 
Some people claim it’s no big deal others claim it’s the end of the world as we know it and are buying 3 years worth of toilet paper. I think the truth will be somewhere in the middle.
Here’s a link with up to date numbers
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The death rate on there is 7%. That’s going to be artificially high because they aren’t testing mild cases in most countries so the true number of infections is much higher than reported.
This video explains the cause for concern unless something takes it off its current path of rapidly expanding infections


it’s doesn’t seem like a big deal until it is.
The concern is something that spreads like swine flu and infects 70 million Americans but had a kill rate of 0.5 - 2% And a hospitalization rate of 10%. This is 7m hospitalizations which if happens quickly would overwhelm the hospital system. This could lead to a higher death rate on the 2% side which could mean 1.4m dead in the US which would be the number one killer with no close second.
yes most of those dead are over the age of 65 and with underlying health issues but how many folks do you know and care about that are over the age of 65 and have underlying health issues? I can think of a few in my life.

Believe what you like. The web site you quote has no date of publication. My numbers are up to date as of this morning.

You are being arbitrary for some unknown reason. Check several other sites against the one you quote. I have and am satisfied my results are accurate.

good on you but you are hopelessly wrong
