I laughed way more than I should’ve at this.

Regular flu strain data from the CDC
Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu (in the US).
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year.
So far Corvid 19 has infected 340,000, and 14,500 have died. That is worldwide.
look, I'm not downplaying anything, but how is this strain any more deadly than Influenza A & B? Why is everyone shitting their pants?

Do you really think 650,000 people will die from this? I sure as hell hope not.
I'm not saying this isn't worrisome, but isn't 650k dying every year from the regular flu just as bad/worse? This just doesn't add up.

What’s really going to piss me off is. The god damn circle jerk in a few weeks. All the patting themselves on the back that will take place. From politicians to media and the Facebook/Instagram kooks. “We stopped the corona virus by the quick and tenacious action we all took.” Saying it now. Fuck off
And besides. The last thing millennials need is another atta boy.

I'm with you in hoping we don't have as nearly as many deaths...but this is beginning to look a lot like the Spanish Flu pandemic a hundred years ago...this thing is just getting started, and it is highly contagious...and we area at least a year out on a possible vaccine. It will also become a regular occurrence, like our other influenza strains, coming in waves...and hopefully we will have vaccinations like we do with other strains of influenza..
But I'm not......

I’m with you, it doesn’t add up. Plus how can all the news channels talk about the fucking virus 24/7 for weeks on end? Isn’t this making everyone freak out if their nose even runs? I guess we don’t have to hear about the election at least

Exactly! This is way overblown and a total over reaction to all of this. We will look back at our cratered economy as a huge mistake.

Anyone self quarantined?
The cynical side of me answers as follows: because it tends to kill people of a certain age group, the same people who happen to be in control of pretty much everything in our society.

The issue really lies in the R value of the virus.... The flu has an R of 1 or just shy of 1 meaning for every 1 person that gets it they can infect 1. That is a level line and something our health Care system can manage. Corona is sitting in the 2.5 range which causes exponential growth and will over run the hospitals so people that wouldn't normally die from the flu or corona, or a heart attack or any illness that makes them an inpatient, might. The social distancing and business closures is an external way to try to lower the R value. If we did nothing the R would be more.
I agree that more people will probably die from the flu and the math suggests this isn't a big deal but knowing what I know about my local hospitals they can't support even 10 new inpatients of any nature. So if we let a virus with the potential for exponential growth run though the town a lot more people will die. And not just from corona but anything that requires a hospital for life support. Corona is just really contagious where influenza is not.
Stats can always be swayed in the way you want but the issue really isn't the virus itself it's what it's going to do to our health care system if it runs wild.
I'm sure there will be tons of back patting around the world for people who don't deserve it when this is over but I just pray this brings to light how under staffed and overworked health care system is in the end.
