Every news outlet is freaking out about how coronavirus is a global pandemic that will kill us all....and yet fewer people have contracted it and died from it than contract and die from the normal flu that people get all the time.
Coronavirus death toll: how many people have died and where has it spread to?
The global coronavirus death toll has now risen to over 2,000 with cases arising in 39 countries across the world.www.scotsman.com
Can someone explain this to me? The whole world is in such a hysterical tizzy that certainly it must be just me who isn't excited about this. Is 2000 deaths across the whole entire world population of 8 billion people really that catastrophic?
I honestly believe that this is manufactured hysteria designed to control us with fear. Someone talk me out of that and get me all ramped up about 2000 deaths globally. Explain to me why such a statistically insignificant number is cause for panic. Make me freak out.
The media always does this sort of thing. It gets ratings. Think about hurricane season.
I do think it's not a good comparison of coronavirus to the flu. The mortality rate among all people who get the flu is about one tenth of one percent. The mortality rate among those who get coronavirus is almost 2.3%. Now apply the latter mortality rate (2.3%)to the number of people who've gotten the flu this year and we'd be looking at over a half million deaths from the flu this season.

More like SARS of 2020.
HIV/AIDS is still a thing. You say "SARS" people are like, "What?"
My prediction is that by 2022, when you say "Coronavirus" people are going to say, "Like the beer?"

Or winter.
Remember when it used to be simply called "the Alberta clipper", and now it's called something like "The Swirling Polar Vortex of Galactic Doom" or some such nonsense.
I have a suspicion that TV anchors are only just barely containing their raging priapisms in anticipation of declaring a "GLOBAL PANDEMIC ... EVERY BODY ****ING RUN FOR YOUR CHILDREN'S LIVES"

If the real reason for the panic is so they can control you and manipulate your behavior, they're not going to tell you that.

I remember when inline thunderstorms became "wind sheers", then that wasn't scary enough so they became "derechos". I can't wait for them to become "Invisible Death Gust Devils".🌪

I am not panicing because I already believe the die have been cast. In all honesty, if the reality is that we are dealing with a morphing virus then there isn't anything that is going to stop us from being exposed or getting it. This will be a case of "only the strong survive". The government nor anything we do can change the outcome.
