2018-2019 influenza deaths- 61,200
Covid first case-feb 26th
US deaths- 34,180
In 2 months we have seen half as many fatalities as influenza, and the country has adopted social distancing as a mitigation factor. You can quote .01% or whatever, but this thing infects EVERYONE. If it gets into a nursing home almost everyone will die.
For the love of god, use your big brains on this.
Please stop saying this is just the flu. Run the numbers yourself instead of listening to fox trying to compare this to HIV or SARS.
I’m not justifying shutting down the economy, but stop deluding yourself trying to say it’s just the flu. It’s not, and the people that do this **** for a living agree.
