After seeing the interview of the FIRST case in the US the guy stated that it was NO WAY near as bad as the flu. The 58 year old man said it took him about 5 days to get over it. All this hoopla makes it sound like it is a death sentence if you get it. This emergency spending bill is another way for corporations and drug companies to take a lot of more of our tax dollars. Do people die from it? Yes ! Do people die from car wrecks ? .Choking ? heck anything can kill you. Only reason they jumped on it is there is not a vaccine. Heck theres not a vaccine for a common cold but no one is screaming pandemic., Most of it's just trying to get the market down so they can try to beat Trump.....

I'll be flying through Seattle April 8th. I feel better reading your post so I will not be getting last rites prior to boarding.

CDC estimates a minimum of 32,000,000 cases of flu, 350,000 flu related hospitalizations, and 20,000 flu-related deaths since October 1 2019. I think it's safe to say coronavirus is over-hyped.


CDC flu info

Most of the hype appears to be perpetuated by the media to hurt President Trump, by harming the economy and giving them something to criticize him for.

We will lose some people to it, just not massive numbers.

I predict that EVERY state will have at least one case by Saturday morning,. That is how they will be eligible for part of the 8.3 BILLION dollars Trump approved !!!!!!!!!!!


Check back in 24 hrs see if I'm right

This is it exactly. The media is getting desperate. It's really kinda amusing to see them grasping at straws, except that people are stupid enough to fall for it.

Meanwhile folks are still snuffing it in numbers because they caught the flu

Yep right on cue news JUST now broke in Ky has it's first cases. Democrat govnor got his hand out. Getting money to open a hotline for people to callin and ask question LOL

Ohh and before ya'll pop that bubble wrap in those boxes from your online tool orders .... remember the air in it is from China ..... Just sayin

Easier said than done.

Hopefully the planes will be only half full like after 9/11.

I scratched my bum .....but I didnt touch my face!!!

I think everyone should take a cruise. I just bought Royal Caribbean stock for half price!

The flu is already established in society, Coronavirus is just now spreading. Coronavirus spreads much faster and is much deadlier. WHO is estimating 20% to 60% worldwide contamination. Current death rate is 3.4%. Cut the death rate to 1% of 20% of 7.8B people and you have 15M dead.

Whiskey will help you thru a bout of corona virus.And if you kick it you will go happy.

I heard a story the other day on the radio. The doctor was saying that the death rates seem high due to the fact that they aren’t testing everyone. Just the people that are on the edge or are already very ill. He was saying that as we developed more tests and test a greater amount of people the rate will be lower for deaths. Something about the average age of catching the virus is 60 and the average age of those that die is somewhere around 80.

Wash your hands folks

When I was a child, there was no vaccine for chicken pox, measles, and the mumps. Mothers ( including mine) would deliberately expose their kids to those who had these diseases, so that they would contract the illnesses, recover, and then would be immune to them.

Fifty or sixty years ago, the mortality rates for measles and the mumps ( developed into encephalitis ) were higher than the mortality rate for the Corona virus.

Times sure have changed.

CBS news tonight nit picked everything Trump, he said 10 have died from the virus but they said that was not true it was 13. LOL that went on and on I was amazed that they started fact checking all of a sudden.

Absolutely overhyped, seems every other year it's zika, swine flu, west Nile, ebola or something else. A line of people outside the CVS yesterday to get their flu shots because of this years "we're all gonna die" .

I hope the flu shots work better for the corona than it does for the flu. Oh well if its a piece of mind thing more power to them. Now where is my lucky rabbits foot?
