The next big viral outbreak! Better stock up on all the hand sanitizer, water, toilet paper, milk and eggs!

It's just the flu, people.

I HOPE it blows over for the most part. I would rather look silly than have millions or even hundreds of people die or lose loved ones.

I hope it blows over tbh. I'm kinda scared of the coronavirus tbh

There's confirmed cases of it around a campus that's 10 minutes away from me via walking >_>

"It's just the flu, people."

And yet China, home of literal slave factories and suicide safety nets quarantined cities, shut down said factories, and reduced shipments by 50% over the past 2 weeks thereby putting putting the global economy at risk of crashing and putting a lot of businesses in the US at risk of bankruptcy if they don't get the supplies they need since literally everything is manufactured in China nowadays.

JUST. THE F***ING. FLU.

5-10x is generous. If we take Italy as an example, the current mortality rate for Covid-19 is 3.8%. Influenza's is 0.2%.

That's almost 20x.

Big Yikes.

Even if it was "just the flu" it's not like the flu is a fun thing to get either. If people being more cautious helps keep them from getting ANY sickness then I don't see why that is something to be mocked.

Considering I'm home sick in a neighboring city to one that reported COVID-19 deaths, I'm just a tad worried. Thankfully what I have seems mundane.

It will blow over assuming people do their part in containing the infection rate.

It's better to be prepared than not. I don't believe in the conspiracy theories surrounding it (it's the apocalypse!!!), but it's also really dumb to think it's *nothing* and just not care about being clean.

I don't think "blow over" is useful terminology.

It's a public health crisis and something people need to be aware of but it's not as deadly and earth shattering as some people are saying.

This is what makes me raise an eyebrow. China gives literally zero fucks about anything, but suddenly they give a huge fuck about this and are willing to basically crash their economy? Major events being cancelled worldwide, etc.

But nah, it's just a mild flu that only kills people 80+ that already had pre-existing health conditions. Regular influenza kills x amount of people per year, that's way worse.

TLDR: the death rate is overestimated and is actually not that high.

death rate is like 3% and kills people with compromised immune systems and healthy adults are like literally shutting themselves inside out of fear is the perfect example of how much influence the media has on people. Shoulda just quarantined the afflicted people before they got too far in their home countries

The flus mortality rate is calculated with the population, this things mortality rate is calculated with just those whove contracted it.

Flu's mortality rate is calculated via the entire population of the planet while Corona is just with the people who have caught it.

It means absolutely nothing as there is no accurate count of how many people contracted it.
