The outbreak was raging in Chyna for the whole month of January, and the Media didn’t give a fuck. Direct flight from China were coming in and media didn’t give a god damn. They didn’t even cover the extreme quarantine measures by CCP police. Fake news were all obsessing over Orange Man’s peach mints
The hysteria was exponentially hyped through Facebook, Twitter and social media. Haven’t seen hysteria levels, over reactions and city lockdown hashtags trend like this ever
I think it’s too early to call either way—you certainly can’t extrapolate from Chinese data as though it’s trustworthy. Italy is a better indicator, and those numbers are much worse.
Do you work in health care? Do you know anyone personally who has been infected? Comparing this to the "common cold" is fucking asinine and disingenuous. They are the same type of virus, not the same exact virus. The common cold doesn't have a high chance of making people with any sort of pre-morbidity need forced intubation.
The common cold isn't killing our grandparents en masse, the truth is that if you're completely healthy with no kind of preexisting illness you'll probably be just fine. But almost half or more of the us pop has some sort of condition, be it asthma, hyper tension, copd, diabetes, etc. These people are at a much higher risk of death than a perfectly healthy person and if theyre over 50 with one of those conditions it's basically a death sentence.
Now please remind me when the common cold was this virulent?
I never said there was mass fucking graves you absolute shit faced moron, I was trying to highlight the fact that the risk of death for people above 50 with any sort of medical condition is extremely high. I have seen young completely healthy people with the virus already and it completely destroys them. They have a high fever for days on end and are gasping/choking on every single breath they take. If you are the least bit immuno-compromised this will absolutely put you in the fucking hospital.
Just because you're too much of a cowardly fucking pussy to own up to the fact that this is actually serious and we need to fucking contain it doesn't make you seem any smarter than the bag of shit smeared beach sandals you are.
If this was just the common fucking cold we would not be in this situation.
You intentionally ignored my questions because you cannot answer them.
Go ahead and keep living your life and ignore all the warnings. When you finally get it and experience it yourself and then realize you've probably spread it to hundreds of others and dozens that it will kill, you can live with that.
I care enough about my community, my senior relatives and neighbors, and the veterans in my city to give them the safety they deserve and not intentionally expose myself to a situation in which I could get it.
If I passed this shit to any of my grandparents they would 100% die, and they are not fucking geriatric patients you spastic fucking cunt.
Apples to oranges, the flu is predicable, we know it’s coming, we know how it plays out.
This current pandemic is SARS-2, we don’t know how it ends. We don’t know if it comes back stronger, the hospital surge could be much worse than 1 million people spread out over flu season.
You’re using 3 week old thinking if you’re still comparing this to a typical flu.
The Dems are definitely trying to bottom out our economy. They are rooting for the virus. And loving the over reactions and the city wide lock downs.
Moody’s analytics predicted it was impossible for Dems to win back the White House if Trumps economy stayed the course. Dem’s only path to power is a recession before Nov.
They gotta kill small business and put Americans in unemployment lines to make Trump lose. This is so fucked up.
I know someone that works in a hospital that is currently getting overwhelmed. This is a new virus, and particularly bad, and has the ability to cause a real spike in hospitalizations. Just look at Italy.
there are reasons to be optimistic, there are reasons why we shouldn't destroy our country going crazy about this, but don't pretend this isn't a new thing creating significant problems.
I think the media latches onto Kung Flu cuz it’s new. They can’t freak us out over the one we grew up with.
Agree with your comment, 2 more observations:

we are where we were 2 years ago
Can we PLEASE stop calling in the "Kung Flu?"
...
Everytime I read that, the damn song gets stuck in my head...(the Elvis version)
Your post says over 1,000,000 but the graphic you posted says 390,000 - 710,000.
"WhO cArEs AbOuT tHe MaTh! I Am MaGa CoMrAdE!"
You're right, who cares about actual facts. Lets just all post what comes to mind and pretend it's true.
You won't even be able to bring it up in conversation.
Hospitals where I am are already filled and stressed.
Hospitalizations aren’t all equal. Flu patients don’t need ventilators to live.
You're reading this completely the wrong way.
Rough median might be 500,000 hospitalizations for the whole year in the entire U.S. That's roughly 40,000 per month in all 50 states combined.
Pence said yesterday 1 out of 1000 in New York City are infected. New York has 8 million people. That's 800,000 infected.
If 10% need hospitalization that's 80,000 people in just New York City who may require hospitalization or they'll die - all in the same month.
Now compare that to the 40,000 per month hospitalized by the flu in the entire U.S.
This is why Trump is building four 2000-bed hospitals in New York, and sending a Navy hospital ship to New York.

You don’t need mass graves when you’re incinerating the bodies.

You just fake news’d your own post. The graphic says one thing, and you rounded up by at least a few hundred thousand to sensationalize you title.
Fake news bruh
I know someone that works in a hospital that is currently getting overwhelmed. This is a new virus, and particularly bad, and has the ability to cause a real spike in hospitalizations. Just look at Italy.
there are reasons to be optimistic, there are reasons why we shouldn't destroy our country going crazy about this, but don't pretend this isn't a new thing creating significant problems.
Because a lot fucking more than 1 million people are going to get the chinese virus. especially if everything stays open right now.
Because if you do the math, less than 2% require hospitalization. With COVID19 17% require hospitalization.
Now compare those two numbers, and then answer the question in your heading.
What's 2% of 350 million?
