Hello fellow scholars.
This is a serious question regarding why Corona is treated differently from say a cold or flu . Ive been reading some of the symptoms of people who have been diagnosed- see here- usatoday.com
Is it because its unknown and thus unpredicatble? is it because its a bio weapon that our governments secretly know is really dangerous? Or is it just because old people die at a much higher rate than the general population?

It's about 10 times worse than a flu.
It won't kill you if you're under 50, very likely, but it's a lot more dangerous.
Basically: it's a boomer mass kill weapon, and since our governments are made of ageing narcissistic boomers, they're treating it like the end of the world. Which it is, for them.

bullshit
real mortality rate is under 0,2%
Nah, it's 1.4%.
It's very unlikely to kill you if you're under 50 years of age, but it's bad news for the over 70s.
It requires a lot of hospitalizations, O2, respirators. If flattening the curve works, you do it for longer. Up to a decade with current ICU surge capacity. A sharp curve sucks, a flat curve sucks, everything in the middle sucks. It sucks.
Because millennials love feeling self righteous about stupid causes.
Add in the fact that it allows them to be lazy.
>FLATTEN THE CURVE
>WE'RE SAVING THE WORLD
>STAY HOME AND WATCH NETFLIX ALL DAY
Add in that it's an easy way for politicians to pander to younger voters.
Even destroys the economy gains Trump gave us.
Because, something else is happening here. They’re trying to crash the economy or instill fear in the population in preparation for something big. I only wish I knew what it was.
Its because it has a chance of rapidly progressing to death.
Its a roll of the dice. It will either be nothing to you or require immediate hospitalization
The main problem i think is the need for ventilators to treat serious cases. The flu can turn into pneumonia but this tends to be bacterial and you give antibiotics and maybe oxygen and recover. This virus however causes lung conditions that can not be treated this way, thus you have to just ride it out with a machine breathing for you. We never needed this many machines before, so we didnt have them.
If we had enough ventilators for the entire population i doubt we would be treating this much different.
