Okay, I'll do the math.Do you know how many die from Pneumonia each season? Do the math, watch the hype and do some actual numbers research without the prodding from the MSM. Consider this might not be what you think on the surface and dig deeper.
Worst case estimates from CDC for conventional flu this season is 41,000,000 cases and 41,000 deaths. That's a mortality rate of 0.1%.
Latest official Covid-19 numbers I can find is 81,016 cases and 2,764 deaths (which we almost all agree is certainly under reported based on the actions of China). That's a mortality rate of 3.41%.
So the mortality rate of Covid-19 is 34 times greater than the conventional flu (if you believe official numbers, that is). Seasonal flu does not have a single "zero patient" that the entire outbreak orginates with like Covid-19 did, barely two months ago. If Covid-19 is not contained, then it's quite possible that it could spread worldwide and become "seasonal" like the conventional flu. Even if we assume the total cases in a year only grow to 1/2 the amount of the conventional flu and the mortality rate is only 2.5% that's still a potential death toll of half a million people.
I'm not saying that is what is going to happen, but to brush it all off as hype and fear mongering is a little shorted sighted in my opinion. I also agree that whether it's hyped up or not, it will be used for nefarious purposes and bring more levels of control upon us, including experiments in martial law, such as already is happening in China.
Either way it's likely that 2020 is going to be a unique, life-altering year. Not just because of the Coronavirus outbreak either. Locust swarms, avian flu and swine flu wreaking havoc on the food supply of the world, continued increase of seismic and volcanic activity around the world, flooding in the UK, wildfires in Australia, increasingly greater divide and vitriol in American politics, etc. Even if it's all just sensationalized hype, it will all be used to try to manipulate and control us all the more.
