Another conspiracy nut? 馃檮 I could maybe buy into the world powers engineering this virus to take care of their retiree problem, but not that the virus itself is a hoax. It is killing people, and will end up killing millions.

@texasmentor54 The virus is very real, but it's not nearly as severe as they hype it up to be. The flu is just as bad and no one flips out over it.

@Cloud7593 Actually, no, the flu is NOT just as bad...so far the death rate from this is about 8%...the flu is less than 1%.

@texasmentor54 No, it鈥檚 much less than that. Less than 5% of confirmed cases worldwide, I think, which means that the ratio of deaths to actual cases is far smaller. Still, you are quite right to say that it it is much more lethal than flu at the moment.

@MartinII Yeah, the numbers are scary...even if it is only 3%, if 1/4 of the population gets it, that is 2.5 million deaths.
