Common Flu kills 60,000 people every years in Europe.
The Corovirus kills only 99% of people who catch it and its almost only old and sick people.
The medias has, again, managed to create a climate of fear and paranoia amongst the population.... So many people thinks that catching this virus means death.
- read that again Bennd_gitale
- I'd be terrified if that was the case! ;-)Ianbolton
- bennsplanation!!!!hans_glib
- only 99%. I feel safer nowBeeswax
- "kills only 99%" lolNBQ00
- Don't fall for the fear-mongering guys, it only has a 99% death rate!yuekit
- Haha. If it kills 99.9%, then I’d be worried.thumb_screws
- Yes and more people are killed by leishmaniasis but whatever let’s say this coronavirus is a pussy in comparison. I still don’t want it mate.shapesalad
- LOL its Monday. 99% survive yeah, 1% dies :PBennn
- You dont want it, but you would survive it and just have a few days off at home to watch netflix and play videogames.Bennn
- Bennnn, what do you think about this?
https://www.qbn.com/…yuekit - Peoples don't thinks catchings this virus means death.
Do you understand the resources needed to contain and treat the virus? That is the real problem.deadsperm - Upvoted for the "kills only 99%" though.deadsperm
- @yuekit I dont know, but all the people who got the virus in Canada are in quarantine at home and no one is dyingBennn
- @deadsperm, i know, but do you know how much ressources it takes for the common flu? Our hospitals are flooded by people with common flu over here, every yearBennn
- Deaths from the common flu and other diseases have become socially accepted though.deadsperm
- The fear doesn't come from the media but from having a new phenomenon killing people that is spreading so quickly. Even if it doesn't kill that many people.deadsperm
- Imagine what would happen if governments chose to ignore it because it doesn't kills enough peoples.deadsperm
- i agree 100% But i dont agree about the media. They're 100% capitalising on it for clicks and views and induce fear into population 100%Bennn
- It's a hoax.deadsperm
- I’m that only 24 cases have been found in Canada so far. Not sure you can draw any conclusion based on that?yuekit
- I think the fear is based on not how many people have died or gotten seriously ill so far, but how many could if it spreads.yuekit
- If you look at 3% death rate and 20% hospitalization rate and multiply by the entire population of an entire country, that pretty much would crash theyuekit
- medical system of any country. Is it going to actually spread that widely? Maybe not, it could just fizzle out.yuekit
- The fear is getting it twice. That’s the fear. And if you don’t know why, what medcram on YouTube to understand the biology.shapesalad
- But taken at face value the numbers are quite scary.yuekit
- Get your facts straight Bennn. China has reported 2.75% kill rate. In other countries such as Iran it has a 15% kill rate. Expect 40-70% to contract COVID-19utopian
- Sensationalism plays a part but this is a new strain of the flu virus. They can also mutate. Which is a genuine worry.monoboy
- Add to that the opaqueness of certain governments and people start to speculate.monoboy
- Without vaccination, it could become a serious issue.monoboy
- *amonoboy
- Sadly, poor measures and panic might actually make it a lot worse than it is.monoboy
- Especially in religious backwaters where the poor don't have access to healthcare. Like America.monoboy
- And lots of firearms.monoboy
- i agree, i know its serious. its just that reading the news, it looks like the apocalypse is uppon us. its just a bit too much.Bennn
- it feeds the gigantic machine that is the News Medias. Its candy for them.Bennn
- If people are viewing the Spanish flu outbreak as comparable then it doesn't look good. But we've moved on a bit since then.monoboy
- Thank God C-19 is replacing Flu so we don't have to worry about flu any mo .. oh, wait, hold on.Nairn
- Yeah, we have move on since then, monoboy - now we have literally millions of people travelling the entiriety of the globe within hours.Nairn
- Switch it off. We'll all have to wait for truth to become profitable again.monoboy
- At least in the good ol' days, a Ship's captain could quietly dump fevered individuals overboard...Nairn
- Aren't they executing positive cases in North Korea on the spot. Or did I believe something on the internet again?monoboy
- Corona virus kills less than 1/2 a percent at a solid .2-.4% rate. That’s double the rate of flu which is .1%.monospaced
- 2 – 4%, not 0.2 – 0.4%, no?Nairn
- overall 2-4%, in the 30-40 age group its 0.2%drgs
- it's ~3% while the hospitals are functioning. Think the worry is that gets worse once numbers of infected increase, or supplies run low.monNom
- 60% of the time it kills every time.fooler
- The rate is incredibly low and the main “supplies” needed to fight it are hot liquids, rest and symptom relief while you recover.monospaced
