Coronavirus is going to kill AT LEAST 3% of all of us.

Giving the stated total of about 55000 for "influenza and pneumonia".

But the whole classification is a grab-bag, as there's other complexes in play (usually it's declared to be "flu" if its "flu-like symptoms" and not pneumonia, but there's many other viruses that cause similar symptoms).

I just tell people not to cut calories or train too hard in winter. These things compromise our immune system.

I don't worry about people around me coughing or sneezing. We have to trust our immune system and look after it.

36000? Interesting statistic. I have know 1000s of people and know many who have died from cancer, heart attack, or some that have died in car accidents, overdoses, or suicides...even lightning strikes. Have never known anyone who died from the common flu. Does anyone here know of anyone that's died from it? Is there an area of the country that's more prone to it?

Sorry, let me try that again.

Yeah. Prolly.

Given that Coronaviridae are a “family” of virus, and that they’re responsible for a lot of the common cold cases, pneumonia, sars, etc, it’s a pretty good assumption that a large portion of the human population already have Coronaviridae in their bodies or will at some point in their lives.

How about 18 deaths from flu?

Lots of scaremongering:

Maybe stop eating bat soup, dogs and cat meat. Seriously though.

Guy needs more friends over 85. It is a relatively common cause of death.

But we get these scares ever couple of years. Remember Swine Flu? Ebola? West Nile? And so on. It is pretty rare for one to blow up. Some day we will have another spanish flu (50 million deaths out of a population base like a quarter as large). Odds are we will predict a dozen of them before it happens.

Remember west nile lol. It's still here. Every summer there are hundreds of west nile encephalitis cases in the US.

Why don't you have a bite and stop judging it?

This is already worse than SARS in just a manner of a month.

We also know that of 4.6k cases, 900 approx are in serious/critical condition:

It's doubling roughly every 2 days in China, and causing a minimum of 25% to be hospitalized to the point of being in serious/critical condition. Some portion of these will certainly die, adding to the mortality rate.

Moreover, typical course of the illness has dyspnea setting in around 8 days, with mechanical ventilation needed at 10.5 days. Unfortunately, almost 50% of the new cases are from within the last few days, so there is a strong likelihood of seeing a large rise in those critical/serious numbers.

But, the truth is at this point we still just flat out don't know how bad it will be. In perhaps one, but probably about two weeks we will know the critical questions:

1) Has the virus spread from China and is it now causing local epidemics in other countries?

2) Just how bad is the mortality rate?

The big catch 22 here is that, given that this virus is clearly quite infectious and can likely transmit symptomatically and definitely in this with mild illness (who won't go to hospital and continue to stay in population) and has a decent incubation period of 5-9 days...by the time we know the answer to the above questions, it will be too late for effective action from government(s).

In other words, if we don't take drastic action in the next few days, those governments are gambling that both #1 and #2 are in there favor. Which is certainly possible, but that's a hell of a consequence to roll the dice with.

An estimated 90% of the people who believe the OP are also afraid of vaccines. Its gonna be a rough couple of months for Karen.

Also, the CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 15 million flu illnesses, 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths from flu. Be afraid of this.

There's just too many things to live for! How could a pesky virus keep us from such a glorious future which possibly could include:

Jamin's first date

Greg selling his screenplay

Jonathon Gault renouncing his British accent

Jordan Hasay running on "Pure Hate"

Allie and Brad part II in Austin

The second term of our wonderful President Trump and the Dems Going Home Devastated

Kipchoge and Bekele battling in London

More videos from Gwen with drone footage of the Bowerman Babes and Stanley

Suzy Favor Hamilton making movies in the valley

And, so much more...

Yes, we must keep on living so we can Expect Great Things!!!!

T.M.A.D.D.D.H.A.S.F.N.E.

It won't be that bad here even if it makes the leap. We aren't China.

Karen take it easy.

We need to restore the Lord's prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance to our school classrooms each day.

...and 97% of us will still be around for all those things (except possibly the Kipchoge / Bekele matchup if they have to cancel the London marathon due to travel restrictions and public health concerns over so many people in the same place at the same time.

Think about it... there are about 3000 cases worldwide. And already about 2.7% are dead ALREADY. Even if there were no further people getting sick the death toll just for those 3000 people can still rise.

In addition, it can spread before one even has symptoms. That is unlike most other outbreaks where authorities have good cause to quarantine people. There are already probably way more cases than the authorities even can keep track of.

Get ready: But surgical masks. Lots of hand sanitiser. Cancel travel plans. Buy lots of can ex food. And get ready for a massive stock market crash. This is one of those situations where it is okay to panic. This is the real deal.

GTFO of here bro.

You probably don't vaccinate your kids, believe the earth is flat, and have a man crush on Alex Jones.

You cray cray, broseph.

By the way, I started this thread last night expecting a bunch of 1/10 ratings from people. But I checked back in today, and looking at it, I’d give myself a 10/10 for getting so many replies on such a blatant trolling thread. I even made it to the main page!!????
