You know that's like 7 times higher than normal flu, right?



I got this info here but health officials have said its at best only as deadly as the flu (~.1%) and at worst 7 times more deadly than the flu (~<1%). Even so it still looks as though this is being intentionally way overhyped.

It’s terrible money for anyone with a job when you figure you’re going to sit around with your thumb up your arse for 14 days

Did it mutate the last 10 days? Why would the numbers be different, it's the same virus. Corona-alarmists can't think logically

People need to watch out for these quick vaccines they are going to try to push on the public, could be more deadly/damaging than the actual virus. You couldn't pay me to get one.

Has anyone had the essential oils people show up on their social media? I've had a few promoting "Thieves" as a killer of viruses and bacteria.

So, have our first official case here in Jefferson County (Louisville, KY).

Spent the day on the phone with parents losing their collective shite over why we didn’t shut down a school district of over 90,000 students for 1 case in an adult who has been isolated.

FML.

Pretty much.

When the median age of their deaths happens to be 85-89 years old, that is pretty much an entire region of nursing homes.

I mean, if we start seeing multiple cases then I don’t have an issue with it due to the immunocompromised kids we have in our building. But people are just losing their shite.

I had a girl come to my office in full tears because her teacher coughed in class and she knew his wife was in Italy.....6 months ago.

She is just acting appropriately to this whole thing, belle. That is the correct response. /s



This is what panic creates, but on a societal level.
