Well, seems it hasn't killed any healthy kids in America or worldwide; or apparantly made any really sick...as well old Hollywood actors in their 60s (i.e Tom Hanks) experienced mild symptoms and recovererd quickly...along with all the other celebs and politicians who have tested 'positive'. Look them up,https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/health/coronavirus-children.html

It’s put up to 20% of cases in the hospital for long term care. That’s not just old people, that’s healthy 30 year olds.

That’s great that it doesn’t affect kids, but it’s not great when mom or dad is in the ICU and comes out with permanent lung damage

Last year 37,000 Americans died from the common flu. Not so great either BUT its just the flu. This Covid 19 has killed how many in U.S....54?? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1237027356314869761

COVID-19 has only been in the US for a few weeks, so you can't directly compare it to flu deaths per year. And either way that's missing the point, this virus is spreading exponentially right now in the US so the 54 deaths will also grow exponentially if people keep saying 'its just the flu'. If the virus spreads as it has been this last week (+30% per day) we will have 11.7 million cases in 30 days.
