Coronavirus: Justified Fear or Massive Overreaction?

Here's the death rate by age and pre-existing conditions: worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/

If you're old you should worry. If you're immunocompromised you should worry. If you're young and healthy, you should worry about giving it your grandmother and killing her.

Its not a fucking pandemic. Yes, people will get sick. No, no where near as many of those people will die as if it were the flu.

HOWEVER. This virus is fuckin fearsome because it went from animal to human. Anytime something mutates like that is cause for concern. In our lifetime we will see a disease wipe out some population but I dont think this is the one.

justified fear

americans are uninformed

im not taking any drugs besides weed.
No coffee, no sugar, no alcohol, only cannabis.

37 yr old here, hope i dont get in that 10% :(

please source your facts about how many people have died from the flu compared to coronavirus? and no,trump's twitter account or your conservative blog isnt legit sources of facts

this is what happens when the bible thumper/anti vaxxer crowd takes over america

Its almost under control in china.
So far since december its only infected like what, more than 100.000 peeps?
I say only, bc there are millions and milliones of persons n this planet.
It will be under control at some near future, in the same way we controlloed h1n1, sars, and others...

It is a pandemic. It's already in 97 countries with outbreaks in several and starting in many others. There is no way of containing it anymore. And it's worse than the flu because we don't have a vaccine to stop the transmission, and we won't for another 1-2 years. It will infect more people than the flu and kill more within the year.

No. No I will not. Use your liberal arts degree and find out how many people in the world on an annual basis catch the flu and what percentage of those die. Then do the same thing with this strain. Last I saw coronavirus was in the 3-5% range.

China has taken incredibly authoritarian measures and basically locked whole cities in their homes. This is not possible anywhere else in the world because other countries aren't dictatorships.
