Stop with the facts.
We are trying to tank the economy and create fear and uncertainty leading up to the 2020 election.
Please move along.

I don't seem to remember any major event cancellations or a panic-driven news cycle.
There wasn’t a desire to tank the economy then.

Well considering the 1-2% mortality rate for COVID19 and using the same number of infection cases from H1N1 would mean 600k-1.2MM dead Americans.
Is that something worth exercising a little caution for?

Media is eating this shite up and will continue to as long as their pumping numbers. Love all the overreactions

we’re all supposed to be dead from mad cow already, at least those of us who survived the Y2K apocalypse.

Your numbers give a mortality rate of .006%.
Nobody knows what Corona is, but in Wuhan it was probably 4%. Even with 1% mortality corona is orders of magnitude deadlier.

I'm gonna stop you right there. Fake news. There are probably tens of thousands of Americans currently infected with the virus who will never know they had it. That means the mortality rate is likely much lower.

My bad. The WHO latest estimate (Mar 3) has it at 3.4%.
Are you saying they’re not reporting accurate numbers?

They’re accurate based on confirmed tests. There are many many more unconfirmed. The flu fatality rate is based on an estimation as well. It’s assumed to be 0.1% fatality rate. Wuhan is about 0.6% by most guesses. This is mostly because countries are only testing the most ill and simply telling all others to stay home without confirming.

The reality is there are thousands throughout the world with this virus that are not part of the mortality rate number of 3.4%.
Posted on 3/11/20 at 7:11 pm to frankthetank

60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations
So the percent of cases needing hospitalization is 0.4% for swine flu.
Do you think you are going to see that with this virus?

By your own data, the fatality rate was .02%. The coronovirus fatality rate is many times that by even the most optimistic calculations.
The swine flu infected between 11-21% of the total global population. That would be 700 million - 1.4 billion people who contracted the swine flu. And yet, no panic.
No matter what the mortality rate, you're delusional if you think the panic-driven news cycle isn't calculated in this instance.

Do you fricking idiots realize how much worse the economy will be if/when it inevitably spreads to a point it overwhelms health care resources and keeps people from working?

I'm not denying reality, my friend. I'm simply going off what everyone has been saying in the megathread and the data that currently exists out there on the internet. The symptoms are very flu-like. Any young person who wakes up with those classic symptoms will likely call in sick, take some motrin, and stay in bed until their fever breaks and the sickness passes. I had flu-like symptoms while home for Christmas and didn't visit the doctor. I was over it in three days.
We know it doesn't really prey on the young and rarely even manifests symptoms in children. So there is a great chance that there are literally thousands of Americans walking around with the virus right now who will never know they ever had it.

I agree that caution is warranted, and I actually agree with the cancellation of the large events. But we won't be anywhere close to 600k dead in this country. I doubt we will even approach the 12k dead figure listed by the OP.
The hysteria over this is out of control.

Of course. But that doesn’t change the overall point.
