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?
