Live coronavirus updates: Americans warned as many as 240,000 could die

its being consistently ignored...

At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.

the seasonal death rates are the same if not less this year than previous years, what does that tell you?

You still seek comfort from this idiocy? Please explain how covid 19 will stop people die from seasonal flu at the moment? You can't understand that figures of the seasonal flu are estimates, and these what you see killed by covid 19 are counted body by body? Yes, somewhat less people will die from the seasonal flu this year, because of the measures done because of the covid 19, quarantines etc. but still you have to add these body counts together.. So at the end you have xxxxx dying by seasonal flu, and xxxxxx dying by covid 19, and that is a lot, no matter how you count them. You see, flu season is just about gone, and covid 19 is just about started, so this will still last months. Virus has 9 week evolution curve, in US 1st of March 74 patients and 0 deaths, 1st of Aprill 216 515 cases and 5119 deaths. Just a seasonal flu:

Nature just doing what nature does culling the old and weak. Been going on since the beginning of time, human beings avoid it far better than other living creatures but in the end nature will always overcome.

You do realize that 100% of us are sitting inside all day hearing and reading the same news stories you are? Not exactly a "newsflash ".

Know your place on here, don’t talk to SF that way

[oldschoolfan]

I would be willing to bet a lot of the flu deaths are being blamed on corona now

Right...but there is also little kids dying by this, infants, 12, 14 years old, teens and adults which has no other illnesses or conditions. Point is that only history will prove if you die or not, you don't know it before it has happen. And if you don't die, there is still plenty of options, for example, lot of people has lost permanently great part of the capacity of their lungs, and that's not nice condition to be. Do you want to change working out with iPhone to working out with oxygen mask and tank? Greatest danger are the fools who try to belittle seriousness of this illness, because they aren't smart enough to protect themselves, and therefore they spread the virus..

What percentage of people have permanently damaged lungs from this?

This is a good question, apparently if you’re famous or a professional athlete you can recover with zero side effects.
