It’s a bit more than that... Colds (not the flu) don’t have mortality rates as high as COVID-19.

Mortality data and longterm effects data seem to suggest otherwise.

So with what the data is suggesting, do you feel it’s serious enough to destroy global air travel and the world economy?

I’d imagine more people have died on the road to the airport so far this year than those that have died from Corona virus. Nobody seems to be too concerned about those deaths. But yeah, let’s all tighten our belts and prepare for massive losses this year because of a virus that is 80% of the time presenting mild cold/flu symptoms.

I’m saying I side with the actual experts over the wine-drunk propagandists and conspiracy theorists of your favorite media outlets.

Mortality rate is also subject to the limitations of the data. Many unreported cases, large rural populations with little reporting being done, and media hype are blowing this out of proportion. The mortality rate isn't to be trusted until much later in the process where they have real data from a bigger sample size.

Have you ever been through a blowout in the industry before? They happen. Deal with it. At least this time the industry is in the best shape going into it that we could have ever hoped for. Go jump on a treadmill and burn off that nervous energy instead of flipping out on here constantly.

I am convinced most people don’t know what the experts are saying. Medical stats are being twisted to fit anyone’s agenda.

Based on the age stats of who dies, the only group that needs to worry is the over 60 crowd.

Pretty easy to read and understand it yourself directly from the CDC and World Health Organization.
