Find me one case of the flu infecting a nursing home as the covid-19 has in Washington state. We are talking 15 dead and 100 people infected in just 2 weeks. Find me one example of the flu doing that.

This one was hard on 65 and up.

Apparently, the virus name is SARS-CoV-2 and disease is COVID-19 https://www.who.int/emergencies/dis...ase-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it

H3N2 is one of the nastiest seasonal flu strains out there, it got lots of media attention in 2017-2018

Good read but not exactly what I was asking for.

It kinda hard to find News articles from 1968 so I apologize. That flu is very similar to this virus is my point.

What misinformation?

There are media outlets reporting 10-20% mortality rates without specifying the age or other health issues, plus they refuse to mention the possibility of thousands more cases which obviously means a much lower mortality rate. There are a lot of unknowns, you're right, but to overhype it is no different then down playing it. Media is portraying way too much doom & gloom and mass hysteria.

It’s policy to close all schools even if only one has a positive person. One day to clean and bleach etc. we will see this a lot more in the next few weeks unfortunately.

IFR versus CFR......I'll try to find that link.

word is the teacher collapsed in class on friday. Was out of sick leave from getting flu earlier in the year. Also visited 3 different schools while infected. This person could have started a “hot spot”

Probably has, the fact this person visited 3 different school while sick is amazing. When your sick flu or not you stay home and away from children. That person is a idiot.

I recommend everyone on here read this entire article top to bottom. Read it and take the time to at least understand what they are saying and then you can decide if you want to dismiss this or compare it to the flu.

Why this epidemiologist is more worried about coronavirus than he was a month ago

Americans need to prepare themselves that the next 12 months are going to look very different.

Every flu is different so you can’t just say flu. Some flu seasons are mild and some are severe. If you compare this virus to other bad flu outbreaks it doesn’t break the top 5 YET. Let’s give it’s a full year and see what the totals are.

Well some of us have said for over a month that we shouldnt focus on this as just an illness and that we needed to view this as a threat to society. Me and @Rain Cold have harped on this very scenario for weeks.

But why? In that case, why not also view the seasonal flu the same way? There have been 35 Million confirmed cased is the US this year and 20,000 deaths! Per CDC estimates this is a light year for flu deaths. The past 5 years have seen:

2018-19 - 34,000 deaths, 500,000 hospitalizations, 35.5 million cases
2017-2018 - 61,000 to 80,000 deaths, 808,000 hospitalizations, 45 million cases
2016-2017 - 38,000 deaths, 500,000 hospitalizations, 29 million cases
2015-2016 - 23,000 deaths, 280,000 hospitalizations, 24 million cases
2014-2015 - 51,000 deaths, 600,000 hopsitalizations, 30 million cases

If we're viewing this illness as a threat to society then the seasonal flu should shut us down every year. What about auto accidents? Over 40,000 deaths per year and millions of hospitalizations. IMO, to call this a threat to society AT THIS POINT, is beyond hyperbolic; it's unnecessary panic.

88% of cronovirus cases from link above are mild.

Most people can't adapt to change real quick, some of the non sense post that refuse to understand the facts.. By facts I mean numbers and how that affects everyday life. But really the window to prepare it this is somewhat serious is closing . I don't worry about these I've just made the best moves I know to protect life and family

 

[LetItSnow]

It's a threat to society because panic is starting and unless people come to their senses will only get worse.
