Gotta thin the herd somehow.

17 dead isn't thinning, it's less than Saturday afternoon homicides Chicago.

The death rate is very low, for sure. Thankfully, so. More than likely the deaths are the elderly with compromised immune systems to begin with

That is one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen. It's an issue of percentages, not absolute numbers. The percentage of dead is fairly high for flu but look at the numbers in critical condition. Only 400 or so infected at this point and probably close to 1/4 critical or dead. So, when 4 million get it, 1 million are in critical condition - but the medical system is overwhelmed so you end up with those 1 million dead. The rumors in China are that this is a gene-modified virus. This is a huge fricking deal - and it has already spread to other countries.
