re: Current score. Corona vs flu

Stop beating the flu drum.


Okay.

quote:

This is a coronavirus, and a new one, at that. It’s absolutely silly to speculate on its end characteristics. We have to operate on what we definitely know about it: It’s extremely contagious; it’s deadly dangerous for a significant portion of the population; and, a vaccine cannot be made for a coronavirus.


You wish for me to stop beating the flu drum then you go on to list exactly the same things, concerning China's Wuhan virus, that makes the flu so dangerous.

The flu is extremely contagious.

New vaccines for different strains of the flu have to come out continuously due to it's constant mutation.

Flu virus variations are extremely dangerous for significant portions of the population.

A vaccine can be made for coronavirus, just as it can be for thousands of different versions of a flu virus.

quote:

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.
quote:


Yes.

Using your logic, italy is in this same situation every flu season. Do you think that is the case? It’s not.


Not even 3,000 have died in the rancid, dark, dirty, filth-laden, putrid heart of the virus in the whole nation of China.

Just how bad is the coronavirus?
quote:

Yes. 200 people dying a day. War time triage in effect. That’s very different than “the flu”.


Is it. Is it really different than the flu? 60,000 dead just in one tiny country called the United States during a 3 month period during the FLU season of 2017-2018.

Just because every single one of those deaths weren't announced on CNN, does it make them matter any less?

Just because every single, solitary flu infection/death wasn't tracked on multiple websites, papers, social media sites, etc... and announced to the nation as the coming apocalypse, does it make them any less important?

People that die from the flu are humans too.

--Calm down. Sure it's infectious, what type of
influenza's not---and they don't always guess correctly on the strain of flu used in vaccines, so at best, your vaccine may help in keeping it from being worse.
--Higher mortality rate ? While at this time that might appear to be the case, many health officials think not necessarily and perhaps no different from typical viruses brought out of Asia."
--"The mortality rate is more likely around 1-percent
or less and most of those are elderly with compromised immune systems who struggle most with seasonal common strains of flu."
--"A large study just released out of China shows
over 80-percent who get Corona virus are simply mild cases."
--"Why is the mortality rate higher in Italy ?
Italy has the oldest population in Europe---and
many of the deaths from Corona in Italy have been among those 80 to 90-years-old, the same demographic that any virus is deadliest among."
--"Health officials have no idea how many people have
mild bouts of Corona that are going unreported."
If you'd like to verify this above all the panic and running around in circles & media scare, you'll find any number of legitimate reports saying the same
thing as the one I've included :
Coronavirus Facts



Yeah, but Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson now have coronavirus and that makes it more real.

They are rich people who are progessive; they matter, and the virus still attacked them.

It's already been reported about 300,00 times on every single network, news outlet, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc... that they do in fact have coronavirus.

Meanwhile, not a single report on Gladys, the mill worker in Georgia, who also contracted the virus.

Her case hasn't even made the local papers.

So it attacks the good people who matter and the shite people who don't matter; that is scary.
quote:

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.


I was talking to some of my friends and a few of my cousins and my Dad and my father-in-law and his side piece and they all were saying that this virus named Corona has only killed around two thousand or so people in shithole China were it originated.

And then my wife chimed in and said that the virus is already on a downturn in shithole China and they are in recovery from it already.

Now, I don't know about you, but I respect the frick out of their opinions and take them very seriously.

quote:

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.

Yes, all of these measures being taken are an overreaction to absolutely nothing.

You should take a break from showing your ignorance and do some research...........instead of doubling down on your already established stupidity.

WTF is it with you and this virus dick measuring contest?


I think it is detrimental for people with theatrical and melodramatic personalities to frighten normal people.

You are on the verge of developing agoraphobia due to a new virus joining all the others that have been around forever.

27 people have died in the United States. It's not yet quite comparable to the Black Death scourges that eliminated much of the Earth's population in successive waves in the Middle Ages as you alluded to earlier.

Calm the frick down.

This virus is over rated. This isn't first time for this back of lysol cans 2 yrs ago says it kills this corino virus.


Some highly respected scientists in Mexico say that drinking total, huge shitload liquid tonnages of Corona beer cures the virus also.

They say it is just like eating cowpox pustules to cure smallpox. You drink the virus, which can be purchased at any local gas station, and you cure the virus.

I'm stocking up.

Added bonus is that at the same time your fat stores save you from malnutrition, your fat stories will entertain all who are blessed enough to be around to listen.

Fat people can always tell a good story. Natural storytellers.
CajunBama is a much more well known and respected poster here than you are.

No one really knows you or anything. I don't think anyone even knows what team you support. You are boring and bland.
