nateNAU Report post Posted March 5, 2020 So I really try and be a level headed kind of guy and I do see some unneeded hysteria, but does this not concern some of you even a small amount? When I look at it by the numbers the 1918 flu had like a 2-3% mortality rate and infected about 1/3 of the world's population. The latest I heard the corona virus is 3.4%. I do understand that China's data skews this up because of the lack of health care but if health care systems get strained that could easily be the global mortality rate. Also the world population is almost 4x as much as it was in 1918. The virus went from China to 70 other countries in 4 months and if as some project that at this point 40-70% of the world will contract it over the next year you are talking about 100s of millions of deaths. And what if this becomes endemic? What if the seasonal flu just became exponentially more deadly? Again I don't consider myself some conspericy nut and I'm not one of the loons buying a decades worth of sh×t tickets at Costco but I do feel that this could get a lot worse.

Jazz Report post Posted March 5, 2020 Out of ground meat too. was there last night to gas up the truck and grab some hot dogs. (My weakness) and the place was fairly busy. Most cleaning supplies sold out and I didn’t think the meat would take a hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted March 5, 2020 report is China is already seeing fewer new reported cases. 3.4% is slightly overstated as there are thousands of people that have it in China that have minimal to no effects and thus are not reporting it or getting tested. Is TP the main export from China to the US? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you left out was the mortality rate per what age groups the two different viruses leave in their wake. The Coronavirus is killing mostly the aged and infirmed. Most deaths have been folks in their 80s and those with preexisting respiratory conditions. Geriatrics who could have succumbed to any virus. What made the 1918 flu so frightening was it killed mostly children aged 1-4 years and young adults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
