What’s so stupid is this virus is no where near as bad as the flu yet we are flooded with information that this is the second coming of Ebola. Now if all the cops working the parade are over 80 with weak immune systems and live in a nursing home then I understand not working the event.

Well, the mortality rate is orders of magnitude higher for coronavirus/CONVID-19. It has a 3.4% mortality rate worldwide. The flu has about a 0.05% mortality rate. And it has a hospitalization mortality rate of 15%. There is also no vaccine, unlike the flu. Like the flu, it is highly contagious. It’s also in its infant stages, so we have no idea of the potential rate of infection and nobody has built up any immunity to it other than the body’s natural immune system.
The chance of expiration is much worse with CONVID-19 than the flu statistically.
