So far it’s less deadly than the regular flu

@MrBrownstone Tell that to the thousands of people who have died from it.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@FindTheBlue You going to live forever?
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@MrBrownstone No but so what? I, like many others, don't want to die yet. Although if I got this virus, I'd probably be fine but I don't want to pass it onto someone who wont be. If you just treat this like it's nothing, you could end up being responsible for someones death, maybe someone that you care about.

@FindTheBlue Why is there not a pandemic every year in the US for the flu? It’s more deadly
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@MrBrownstone No it isn't

"The coronavirus outbreak, however, is proving to be more deadly than the flu. It has killed roughly 2% of the people who have contracted it so far, according to world health officials. That compares with a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu in the U.S., according to CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season. The CDC estimates that 21 million people will eventually get the flu this season."

The flu may still kill a lot of people but at least we have things to fight against it, unlike with coronavirus.

@FindTheBlue Not What I asked
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@MrBrownstone So you're just going to ignore the facts then? I just showed you that your question was based on something that isn't true, the flu is not more deadly.
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@MrBrownstone So that was my answer to your question.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@FindTheBlue Ummm actually it is. Tens of thousands from flu. A little over 1000 from Coronovirus. You’ve showed to be an idiot
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@MrBrownstone Did you even read the quoted article? "[b]killed roughly 2%[/b] of the people who have contracted it so far, according to world health officials. That [b]compares with a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu [/b]in the U.S., according to CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season"

@MrBrownstone I suggest you investigate what exactly the coronavirus actually does once it's inside the human body.

"Which is worse: the flu or the coronavirus?

While the 2019-2020 flu season isn't letting up yet, it's largely been overshadowed by the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19. Since making headlines in December 2019, COVID-19 has infected 89,800 people and killed 3,056 people worldwide.

As public health experts learn more about COVID-19, many are asking, which is worse: the flu or COVID-19?

Based on the latest data, the coronavirus appears to be deadlier."

Wow, I guess I was right.
Oh and there have been over 30 000 deaths from coronavirus, not just a little over a thousand. Might want to check your facts before acting superior.

@FindTheBlue Thank you for all your research. I do think it's something to be concerned about and people should be educated with the facts. However, from what I've seen on worldwide news coverage, it seems like an overreaction for the police to be telling people to leave a public park and go home on a sunny day.
FindTheBlue · 22-25, F
@Lukeman That may also be true. We certainly can't trust the Government.
