Stop with the flu comparisons you dumb bastard. It's not a reasonable comparison.
Right. Thank you for saying that. The flu is a total motherfricker that has eradicated hundreds of millions of human beings over the course of history.
Corona beer and it's associated virus haven't even reached 5,000 deaths yet, most of those being in China.
More level-headed, reasonable posters like you are needed at this time here on this board.
For everyone reading, please don't compare the flu to the Coronavirus, they aren't comparable.

COVID has a higher transmission and mortality rate than flu. That's why they don't compare.
I went to school with people who do this stuff for a living, and I work with people who do this stuff. I don't know which health officials some of you are talking to, but after being somewhat optimistic that this was going to get under control, it's been the last few days of talking to personal friends who are epidemiologists and medical doctors that have swayed me to take this seriously. When people who you know to be good scientists tell you as matter of factly as if they are telling you the weather that this will likely be an issue for at least the next three months and kill a helluvalot more people, unless you are just you got more chest than sense, you listen.
It's not going to end civilization, but it is going to be a rough couple of months. Be cool, don't panic, but don't be foolish.
