For those of you predicting asinine numbers of dead.

The CDC estimates there will be 9.7 MILLION cases of Flu this year. 180,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths

We have had, thus far, about 400 cases of coronavirus in the US and hell, not even all of those started here.

That shite better turn in to the most contagious fricking virus in world history if it hopes to catch up to the FLU because it could have a 100% mortality rate at this point, and lose huge.

If I really have to fricking spell it out beyond the above, you're goddamned hopeless.

We are witnessing fricking mass hysteria driven by completely irresponsible media all over the world.

frick, just imagine if EVERY ONE of those goddamned 10K who died from the Flu made the fricking CNN evening news.

Stop being dupes.

When you go wash your hands, put some soap in your mouth, too.

I've said this several times now.

I'm heading to Vegas with over 100K attending the same industry show I am next week, plus playing some poker touching cards that many others have.

I will wash hands and always have used sanitizer playing poker. Otherwise, game on.

What you don’t seem to appreciate is people who die from COVID-19 are deader than people who die from the flu.

It really is absurd.

People are fricking idiots and have ZERO understanding of large numbers.

Can you imagine the collective bed shitting if every single evening, the news reported the number of dead from the flu?

Congrats on bringing a 3rd grade level incorrect understanding to something that actual experts have already given data-supported projections for.

I can tell you Trumpkins are getting increasingly nervous. Continuously comparing the numbers of this to the flu is very low IQ

They're fricking cancelling events of this idiocy!

They don't cancel them for the flu. This whole thing is one giant batch of experimental proof that the public is fricking stupid

Congrats on being a dupe.

A year from now, I'll bring this stupidity up after you've all forgotten it and moved on to your next hysteria

The point isn't the comparison idiot. The point is you're in a dead panic and, if the news had spend the last 3 months reporting the number of dead from the flu every night, you'd be on your 50th pair of underwear by now.

Too bad CV19 isnt the flu. Otherwise youd have a dynamite point. You might as well talk about car crashes.

This post actually makes me worry more.. seeing as how, even with a vaccine for flu each year, we still have 19million cases, 180K hospitalizations, and 10k deaths.

So now you're going to tell me there is a new virus, that is more contagious and more fatal, oh and by the way there is not a vaccine for it and no one's immune system has seen it? I don't like that.

Yep. Alas, I can see you're going to fail here.

Not panicking at all. Just prepared and fairly concerned currently for a variety of logical reasons.
