Well the flu has an average incubation period of 2 days while corona has average of 5. So you can have it for a lot longer and be spreading it without knowing. So while they both spread exponentially this spreads at a faster exponential rate. It also appears to have a high death rate.
FFS. Stop believing what you're hearing from MSM talking heads--even a basic wiki search will tell you this:
In otherwise healthy adults, influenza virus shedding (the time during which a person might be infectious to another person) increases sharply one-half to one day after infection, peaks on day 2 and persists for an average total duration of 5 days—but can persist as long as 9 days.
The 'death rate' that the WHO director used to start the panic is from cherry picked statistics without a proper population sample used to calculate the base figure--i.e they had no idea of the numbers exposed and who didn't fall ill. His base sample was from those sick enough to present to a hospital etc.
However despite all this--if you look up the 'official' prognosis for this 'Covid-19' the medicos will tell you, not me, that MOST people will only experience "mild to moderate symptoms"--what they and the MSM don't tell you is that 'most" in medical/scientific terms usually means 99.999pc.
Well the shedding time is definitely longer than the flu but fair enough I didnt know flu was that long
But still you can have the virus for 14 days before showing symptoms, with the flu you will show symptoms after a max of 4 days. So you will be able to tell if someone is sick after 4 days (unless they are asymptomatic), with covid this can last 14 days.
Now I know Italy isnt representative of the US, but in terms of this "being like the flu", 2100 people died in italy in the past 7 days. 17k died in the entire year in italy on average the past 4 years, so 17k per year versus 2100 in one week, seems like this is worthy of lockdown etc.
Do you not think 2100 in a week, versus 17000 in a year, shows it's pretty bad? Even if Italy's age group is older etc. You are comparing italy flu deaths vs italy covid deaths
The flu spreads 'exponentially'--no-one worries about that.
