The problem is that the mortality rate for those 70 and over is between 8-15% which is considerably larger than the flu. While it is true this is hardly the next black plague just think of the elderly here and those in 3rd world nations. While the regular flu kills hundreds of thousands a year this has the potential if it spreads far enough to kill millions of the most vulnerable. Anyway i don’t see any over reaction, most people in the west are living normal lives apart from those in hotspot areas in Italy. Schools and workplaces are functioning normally.

Italy is also reporting that at least 10% of cases require medical attention, think if tens of thousands are infected how will this impact hospitals which are already working to full potential

My bad. I heard about it through a third party. They did indeed consecrate the precious blood, but didn’t distribute it.

A mutating flu virus is not at all similar to defeating smallpox, some just can’t pass up the chance to ask for ‘mor money, expand govt’, it’s in liberal DNA

When we have immunization for Coronovirus, we should support a WHO led immunization, and hold them accountable for doing so effectively.

And some just can’t pass up the chance to castigate anyone who asks for money for a public program.

This is very problematic for all ages as a layer of Covid-19 starts to settle. US is still in the thick of flu season.


Death toll rises to six.

But I backed up my ‘castigation’ with evidence the WHO isn’t very good at their management of said money.

No, you didn’t. “Very good” against what standard? As you pointed out, no one else is doing what the WHO are doing. If you found a comparable organization that was doing comparable work for less money then you would have a point. As it is, you are comparing the WHO against nothing. How do you know they should have been able to accomplish more with the money they have?

Abortion

Abortions are safe if they are done with a method recommended by WHO that is appropriate to the pregnancy duration and if the person providing or supporting the abortion is trained. Such abortions can be done using tablets (medical abortion) or a simple outpatient procedure.

WHO is junk. WHO is in the business of death.

Coronavirus is more contageous then flu, more severe in its cases of those who become quite ill with it, and has double the death rate at least, most likely higher, but numbers are suspected to be suppressed.

This IS NOT a thread about flu. Start a new thread for flu vs corona virus comparisons please.

This is also not a thread about

FLU provides a valid comparison, far better than the reference to Smallpox which I was responding to.

It is off topic, just please stop on this thread with comparisons to other illnesses because this virus has only been around since November, what we know is what I listed, and apart from that we still dont know a lot. The vaccine for it is at least 18 mths away.

Is it too much to ask that we all stay on topic? If it is just speak up.
 
12 more Covid 19 infections in Washington.

Canada is stacking up too. I wonder what restrictions are at the US/Canada border.
 
Ok so I gather that your answer to my question is that it is too much to ask to keep this thread on topic and start a new thread for the topic of comparisons with other illnesses. Thats fine, I will mute this thread and start a new thread for its tracking and evolution of information which is the intention of this thread.

There is no sense in starting another thread. Sooner than later the conversation about the flu will exhaust itself.

numbers increasing in my region

  • At least four more patients have died from COVID-19 in Washington state, bringing the total number of deaths in the U.S. to at least six.
  • Public health officials near Seattle reported the nation’s first two deaths in a nearby suburb and several new cases over the weekend.
  • Washington state currently has at least 18 cases, 14 of which are in King County and four in Snohomish County, officials said.
14 of 18 confirmed cases seem to be connected to a single nursing home.

Fourth, we already get quite a few deaths from the flu and its complications every year. Anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 per year in the US alone depending on how bad the strains are in a given year.

Thank you for bringing this up. I think people must not realize this.

Remember the Swine flu? Bird flu? All the hype?

Everyone is getting riled up unnecessarily at this point. I think social media and 24 hour news coverage is not helping.
