    Obviously everyone is jumping to say the same bs "no it isn't like the flu it's more dangerous blablabla" What will kill this coronavirus hysteria isn't self-isolation or hand washing but boredom ... People will eventually realize the reality of this manufactured meme virus and go back living their normal life.

    OP really thinks he is smarter than every government on Earth combined

  • Apr 6, 2020

    everyone wants to believe they got some hidden knowledge that no one else is smart enough to see

    u ain’t special, ur just a sad contrarian moron

    In the US, there were 11.3k confirmed deaths from the flu in 2019 and up till very recently (only using confirmed since that is how we are counting corona deaths as well)

    We will hit up to 100k easily by next February and that is with all this social distancing. Could have been 1-2.5M US deaths w/o it they were predicting

  • dis gon be good

  • Apr 6, 2020

    The CDC also makes clear on that site that those deaths are based on 30,000,000-50,000,000 cases so somewhere between 0.05% and 0.1% death rate.

    The death rate of corona is defo overstated atm due to the lack of testing meaning the “total cases” number is fairly inaccurate, but even if this was corrected it’s pretty clear that it would be at least 10x that of the flu

    24,000 people died from the flu this year in america so far

    https://www.ky3.com/content/news/US-flu-activity-drops-sharply-death-toll-holds-at-24K-569352381.html

    While the rona is at 9000 thounsand.

    Imagine if the flu deaths were as mediatised and sensationalized as the the deaths from coronavirus ... These governments are f***ing up their economy just for a over-sensationalized virus that will at the end of the year have a lesser death toll than regular heart disseases or the flu. This is a perfect example where the solution for a problem is worse than the problem itself.

    The power that mass medias have over what we should fear or not is truly scary, they can turn anything into a global crisis.

    Y'all are free to believe the hype around this whole covid-19 bs but personally i don't buy it.

    The 24k is from the start of the flu season, not since the beginning of the year. You f***ing mong.

    It's always hilarious how the most sanctimonious f***ing idiots have 0 reading comprehension.

    Also as a data a***yst it’s always amazing to me how people will just use and abuse statistics in anyway they can, and completely ignore context just to make a point.

    This is exactly how you get fake news, and equally people feeling able to dismiss s*** as “fake news” by some statistical sleight of hand

    This model uses death rate, hospitalizations, health care shortages and social distancing measures and predicts 80,000 deaths in America by May 16, though it believes a significant flattening of the curve will have taken place by that point.

    The long term issue comes with how we are able to respond to a second wave next winter. If we have a strong group of treatments to use or even a vaccine, the return of the virus will only be a fraction of its first wave. Otherwise, it could be a mess.

    I'm choosing to stay optimistic about the future, but it's difficult when the present is so frightening.

    If only you understand exponential growth
