re: Current score. Corona vs flu

China is not a reliable source of information. South Korea and Italy are much better barometers for assessing the effects of this novel coronavirus.

Okay, so China is lying about their death totals. They also say that the virus is on a downturn in their nasty, unclean, country full of coughing people who absolutely culturally don't even know how to cover their mouths when coughing.

Let's say it's 10,000 dead in China in about a month. That's still far, far, far below the total number of deaths in any given month, at flu season, during any given year in the United States from the common flu.

Also, Italy as has been mentioned is chock-full of elderly individuals. Have you ever been to Italy? It's more akin to the Middle East in terms of medical care than it is to Anglo-Saxon modeled nations.

Outside of Rome, Naples, Bologna, Milan, and Genoa they do good to provide hospitals and doctors as good as you would find in Ensley, Alabama.
