Well youre directly spreading misinformation about a serious outbreak so yea, it is. Are people overreacting? The ones buying 500 packs of TP are, but you shouldnt be trying to downplay the Corona virus either. It still needs to be taken seriously. And the Flu isnt worse so thats just a flat out lie.

The Bird Flu was more deadly than Corona. Did that get as much as an overreaction as this gets?

So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 32 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

18,000/32,000,000=0.05625%
3000/100,000=3%

Do you know how many people the Coronavirus would've killed this season if it had infected 32 million people? 960000.

Another question: do you say this same shit whenever there's a mass shooting by any chance?

Coronavirus total deaths: 3802

"So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000..."

SARS2 deaths are being reported as flu deaths. People in US cant get themselves tested and they financially can't afford to skip work for quarantine

It's easy to test for flu, but SARS2 has a large number of false negatives and is expensive.

Bird flu killed about 700 people....

If you want a real comparison the best modern comparison is the swine flu of 2009 which infected between 10-20% of the world's population and killed around 600k.

By the 2 to 2.5 month mark swine flu had infected around 3k people and killed around 50 people.

In comparison.

SARS2=111k infected 3879 dead.

See the difference.

Bird flu doesnt infect person-to-person easily. If it did, the high death rate would have fucked us badly.

Can somebody explain the split here?

It sounds like we are saying the coronovirus is worse than the flu because if you happen to get it, it has a higher chance of killing you, even though we are way way way less likely to get it than the flu.

But now we're saying the bird flu isn't as bad a coronovirus because even though we are more likely to die if we get it, we are way less likely to get it than coronavirus. But wait that was the argument for why coronavirus isn't as bad the flu....

It was a nonsense argument spread by "flu is worse" Trumpies: flu is already an unavoidable part of our lives so it's a much bigger threat. The argument was used by "experts" back when sars2 was still wrecking havoc in China with no deaths outside of China, in an attempt to make sars2 seem harmless to us foreigners in EU or US.

Now we see how false that argument was, sars2 has been using its 2-3 weeks incubation time and symptoms very similar to flu to silently spread worldwide without anyone testing for it.

And back to bird flu...sars2 spreads incredibly fast person-to-person, while bird flu barely spreads between people.
