Remind me why Coronavirus is a big deal, please?
A NYT article from 2018 says over 80,000 Americans died of regular flu during winter 2017-18.
(nytimes.com
Thus far the US has had ~1,500 deaths from Corona.
Even with another 78,500 deaths, Coronavirus would only be as bad as the 2017-18 flu for the USA.
Come the fuck on.

Many of those deaths were COVID misdiagnosed prior to knowing it existed.
>A widespread, extremely common disease has killed more than a disease which literally spread to America like 1 month ago
Holy fuck, stop the presses! We've got a fucking genius over here!
Paid shill everybody.
"da flu is realy da covid"
China lost 20 mil
Covid-19 is a government/media psyop.
It really isn't any worse than a normal cold/flu, the media is just caught up in a panic because they're scientifically illiterate and assume "new" means uniquely terrible and in addition to normal deaths.
Covid-19 is called Covid-19 because it happened in 2019.
It's not some freak occurrence, we have one of these things every fucking year.
This year's version is more infectious than normal, and has a slightly higher death rate, but it still has a 99,5% survivability rate for people in good health.
This is a global-scale nothingburger.
I’m convinced I had coronavirus back in November. Everyone in the office AND their families got sick. Someone from the office also came back from a cruise over thanksgiving.
Ok, but corona will likely kill many millions.
>A NYT article from 2018 says over 80,000 Americans died of regular flu during winter 2017-18.
And corona will be killing that many in a week, your point?
80.000 deaths are 237 per day
Yesterday 401 died of corona in the US
okay, and?
Let the man cope
Many millions out of a global population of 7.8 Billion.
It's like 1% death rate at worst.
Many of those were Corona brainlet.
It's still a nothingburger though.
Why do people just make random lies?
i saw that 33 doctors have died in italy from covid. how common is it that doctors die from treating flu patients?
Whats the lie
id its such a nothing burger why are you talking about it.
clearly its something if you keep talking about it
Fuck off
>It hasn't even killed 100k in the U.S. yet, so we have nothing to worry about
>>Deaths exceed 100k
>Its only a little worse than the flu
>>Kills 1 million
>Ok, well NOW everyone should flood packed stores since 35% of the population has it.
>33
The number.
Don't forget that these early patients get all the attention of well rested and supplied doctors and nurses.
Soon you'll be lucky to get a bed and maybe some oxygen.
The sick rate and the death rate will skyrocket. Especially because it takes time to get bad when you get it.
There will be 100k deaths in Amerca in 2 weeks.
How does that even compare to annual flu numbers you fucking daft idiot
>it's just a flu bro
Because our hospitals will be overwhelmed, and just because there’s a pandemic doesn’t mean other health issues stop.
Our hospitals don’t have the capacity to handle a pandemic, which means at-risk populations will be exposed and likely not be able to be treated.
It doesn’t have to kill off billions of people to be “the big one” the economic fall out from this already indicates this is a world changing event.
Checked, but it's really a financial industry scheme. A "big short" like the Asian Tigers crisis of 1997 that made Soros' his billions.
Whats exactly is wrong about the number? Yesterday's death toll was +401
in 2017? Retard shill you didn’t read the post
>be china
>have 21 million phone plans inactive after corona pandemic
oh herro wold, it is us, chinaaa. we come he-uh to terr u dat we beat da colona vilus. no wolly at arr
So what
I remember when you faggots were saying the same thing last week, and the week before, and the week before.
As if Fauci isn't overly concerned because of his paisans in the old country. This "crisis" has done nothing to improve respect for so-called experts.
He's just no a fucking moron and he can think two steps ahead.
What does this look like to you?
>A NYT article from 2018 says over 80,000 Americans died of regular flu during winter 2017-18.
You counted number of daily deaths for flu in a year, not 3 months. We are still fucked tho, no matter how hard those guys will scream about FLU IS WORSE MUH PSYOP
Daily reminder FLU stats are pure bullshit
> get fucked shill

>Meanwhile, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), "influenza and pneumonia" took 62 034 lives in 2001—61 777 of which were attributed to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was flu virus positively identified. Between 1979 and 2002, NCHS data show an average 1348 flu deaths per year (range 257 to 3006). The NCHS data would be compatible with CDC mortality estimates if about half of the deaths classed by the NCHS as pneumonia were actually flu initiated secondary pneumonias. But the NCHS criteria indicate otherwise: "Cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death... defined by WHO as `the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death.'" In a written statement, CDC media relations responded to the diverse statistics: "Typically, influenza causes death when the infection leads to severe medical complications." And as most such cases "are never tested for virus infection...CDC considers these [NCHS] figures to be a very substantial undercounting of the true number of deaths from influenza. Therefore, the CDC uses indirect modelling methods to estimate the number of deaths associated with influenza."
>The consistent estimates of the infection fatality risk at around 1 to 10 deaths per 100,000 infections identified in our review (Figure 3) may represent the seriousness of H1N1pdm09 in developed countries where data were available.
>ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
He look
He cuck
But most of all he succ
Are they dying of coronavirus or dying with it? What are their ages? We're they sick?
Stop being such pussies and falling for the media created panic.
>Everything I see on social media is true
This would've started happening already if it was gonna get that bad. It's gonna taper off by June. I think in the US, we MIGHT hit 20k deaths. The flu kills 60k a year in the US.
do they mean mentally gave in to the idea C19 is a problem.... or that he died due to complications and underlying poor health conditions....
>how to lie with statistics 101
Real question, how come there always seems to be this two week deadline. Almost every country and news article says shits gonna go down in two weeks
Why would you swallow the Chinese propaganda like this? China has first hand seen the destruction of the Chinese corona virus. Which is why they closed their borders to the world so it want face a second wave of death.
Wake up and don't trust the Chinese fake news.
Because the article is wrong, a flu season is 6 months in general. Yeah I could have taken half a year so its 438 deaths per day.
The Wuflu will kill more than that today despite having far less overall infected than the flu
The OP is comparing this to the flu. Corona is about 50x worse. Maybe you don't think millions of deaths are a big deal, but its much worse than the flu.
To keep the people in a state of pre-panic
This dude is going to be known as the final straw in "expert" credibility. When the dust settles, it will have to be small pox 2 before people even react. Especially once all the poors realize they gave up their good deal to save boomers for a year or two.
because many of the affected places here in USA are open 7 days a week.... like sports bars, girlie bars, hair salons, shoe stores, Gamestop, fingernail places, dog walkers....
it's killing small businesses --- these lockdowns --- and every day the USA bleeds money...
even franchises like Sam Ash Music, Jack in the Box, Popeyes, Jason;s Deli, Firehouse Subs, Jersey Mikes.... nobody in my USA county (nearly 2 milly) are taking advantage of pick up by curbside.
>Chilis restaurant is doing so-so
A bent line
It’s different because it overwhelms hospitals, and NO ONE eventually can get care. If you had a heart attack, or were in a car accident, you will not be able to be treated. The flu does not do that bro.

>no proofs
>no source
>not even a fake pic
IT'S BULLSHIT BUT I BELIEVE IT
Cite your sources and clarify the time span used to determine the data.
I kept wondering how Yas Forums pulled that "20,000,000 dead in China" number from its ass and knew it'd be something retarded.
It's obvious that governments are ruining their economy by shutting everything down except the most essential and in some cases literally threatening people with huge fines or jail time for breaking the quarantine so that Bill Gates can install microchip under your skin, how can you be so blind to the truth?
Just a nuffin burger, muh flu was worse n shieet
>it's really a financial industry scheme. A "big short" like the Asian Tigers crisis of 1997 that made Soros' his billions.
I could definitely see that being an element to it. There are already multiple records of Wall Street kikes who have used this to generate literally billions of dollars in profits by betting against the very markets that they control.
I don't think there's a centralized conspiracy here, we're just witnessing the bad actors in all sectors of government and economy leap on this at the same time to try to take advantage of the crisis.
well.... the media 24/7 coverage sends everyone who has kids with a fever, grandparents with a fever, daughter with a fever to a medical facility....
thus, they squeeze out people with real issues, like some Mexican who shot himself in the foot with a nailgun while building a cracker jack house (construction workers exempt)...
Everybody with an upper respiratory ailment tricks themselves into internal panic mode to anxiety, and they go to a "dr office".... that's why it;s a problem.... not like people are dropping dead in the street and bleeding from their butt....
>BTW are the N gangs still shooting each other in Chicago, Baltimore, and LA ??? jesss wonderrring
Nothingburger fags are so frightened. Why?
Because... It is much more infectious and deadly...

>The Communist Party China has instructed its domestic exporters to tell the following foreign countries so that their export business is not adversely affected by the spread of the new type of pneumonia.
>Exporters: If you are a foreign customer about the situation of new type pneumonia in China, be sure to answer carefully. If WHO declares an emergency in China, it will severely damage Chinese exports.
>Includes all Business and Customer products. All of our customers are requesting refunds for their products. Then unify the following:
>The main epidemic situation is only in Wuhan, which is under control.The government is actively taking many measures to deal with it.Other cities have little impact.I believe it will be restored soon.
>(Translation: The source of the infection is now limited to Wuhan and has been prevented from spreading. The government is also responding in various ways. Other cities are not affected so much.) If you pass on passive information to your customers, it will also affect your product purchase projects. And maintaining the Chinese export business depends on your response.
Bros...
>a disease that kills 1/200 is no big deal
This is why you’re retarded. People freak out about measles outbreaks and the mortality for that is more like 1/10,000. You also aren’t taking into account morbidity rates. Not everyone who survives will be unscathed.
Just accept that you’re in danger. We all are. Take proper precautions or you could end up with permanent scarring on your lungs and be one of the “recovered patients” nothingburger fags point to saying it’s just a flu bro.
It kills of the elderly at a disproportionate rate and fucks with the availability of the workforce. They're not telling us everything and in all likelihood this is some shit that got out of a lab and was man made.
Down here they're even opening up palliative care wards, which is where I suspect all of these geriatric cases are going. I bet once all the numbers are in it's going ot show us that a lot of boomers, obese and people who were already fucked up accounted for all the deaths; the rest of the shit is media hyping this up because they're filthy fucking parasites fanning the flames of mass hysteria. If anything positive should come from this I hope it's going to be people openly despising and spitting on news media for lying to them so much.
>The Wuflu will kill more than that today despite having far less overall infected than the flu
100% wrong. HUGE numbers of Americas are already infected or have already survived the WuFlu without ever having been tested.
The death numbers seem higher than they really are because in the USA at least we are only testing people who need to be admitted to emergency rooms or we think are about to die. There has been NO attempt to test for asymptomatic carriers or antibodies to show if someone had survived it or not.
>the flu does not do that
No, but mass hysteria does.
The same goes for the flu. Most people who get mild symptoms never get tested and just show up to work or school and spread it to everyone because we don’t have a socially conscious society.
> 80,000
> flu
Or not
>permanent scarring on your lungs
I have had bronchitis probably no less than 20 times in my life (I'm over 45+ yrs old).... sometimes it was bad enough I was coughing up Green Pudding, and I could barely take a breath and had to pound my chest....
I have a new job now for 2 years (not indoors, no dust, rarely around the public) ... I have zero lung issues, and never wheeze, never feel tightness,,, and I hardly do any "cardio"...
>I'm not fat, either. 1/2/3/4
Cope. There is no mass hysteria. Governments are forced to apply draconian measures because otherwise nobody takes this seriously. Look at the spring breakers. Look at the bars and restaurants where they are still open. People don’t give a shit.
>Just accept that you’re in danger.
We are all going to die with or without this virus little man.
bloomberg.com
No proof of that besides one study thats just an extrapolation based on iceland an a north italian village and hence unreliable
How do you know this?
First off your figures are bullshit. Even your flu calculations are bullshit for two reasons. Apparently you can't divide because 80,000/365 is 219, not 239. Secondly you can't read either because it said in the WINTER which is only 90 days - in other words more like 888/day.
Ok so you had totally unrelated issues and that means you’re safe from the morbid outcomes of COVID-19? Sounds like a massive cope to me pal.
does anyone on here know anyone with covid19?
one person?
Because he is Chang the magic shill
>There is no mass hysteria
Who pays you?
People do give a shit, America lives paycheck to pay check and cant take a year off to be neets.
Fuck off.
Yes several
IDIOT DETECTED, the corona virus is just getting started , to compare it to the flu in any way at this early stage is idiotic.
Everyone have a laugh..... ;-)
>theonion.com
Its a typo and the article is wrong because a flu season is 6 months (and it also killed less than 80.000)
Once more for the retards
You know that standard issue neet 1 litre piss bottle you've got?
Well it's got 0.9litres of piss in it
And you've been guzzling mountain few all night
And you're too fucking otaku to brave the trip to the bathroom
So you try and piss in the bottle and it overflows and goes everywhere
Except it also explodes and coats fucking everything in piss
tldr. FLU DEATHS ARE PRICED IN
>little man
Cognitive dissonance tell. Keep coping buddy. Nothingburger fags will be here in 2 years when tens of millions are dead saying “see I was right it’s just a flu but 20 times worse bro” “I can’t walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to catch my breath but I survived so it’s just a flu bro”
