I'm sorry for another Corona thread, truly! I just am freaking out and need and explanation.
I read this yesterday:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464
Felt great. They, Stanford doctors, say this is even less dangerous than flu.
I try to use stats to explain this to my lib friends.
372 deaths yesterday.
CDC says 34,200 died in the US of flu last season.
34,200/365 = 94 a day, not 372
Ok, but flu has a season (although they said Corona should stop in the warm weather too but New Orleans and Florida are apparently badish? )
But even if we say flu only takes place across half the year, it's 188 a day vs 372.
Not too bad. But it's a 14 day incubation and we just got started?
I am getting scared guys. It's only big in a few areas.
Could we be talking thousands a day?
Then how the fuck did so many people say we should repoen and tell me it was nothing. I haven't done anything different. I saw my parents the other day. I've been touching everything.What the fuck.
But it IS nothing right?
