    I'm not so much worried about coronavirus as much the drastic measures we are doing and shutting everything down.

    We don't do this for the regular flu and didn't do it for SARS.

    The regular flu probably killed 10k-20k people in the same time corona killed 4.5k worldwide.

    • Coronavirus is at least 10 times worse, dude. Stop comparing it to the glu.Krassy
    • Ya, stop comparing it to the glu! Stop being being reasonable!Hayoth
    • The flu is everywhere and has been circulating in human populations for thousands of years. COVID-19 virus just appeared two months ago and there'syuekit
    • still a chance to contain it with drastic measures.yuekit
    • @Hayoth so the entire world & especially all experts are fools, but those comparing it to the flu & dismissing it as overreaction are "being reasonable" OK! lolKrassy
    • My dudes, this is NOT flu per se, this is killing people right away, for flu we have vaccines and stuff, for this nothing!

    • Please don't make make any more flu comparisons, unless you are truly ignorant
      ********
    • this basic view is just a worse as rushing out to buy toilet paper.inteliboy
    • I really really fucking hate this comparison with flu. it's dumb, and every single person who said that just proves its own stupidity.
      ********
    • If COVID becomes as widespread as the flu, then millions will die. So yeah it's completely baffling.yuekit
    • also imagine COVID19 becoming a seasonal illness (like the flu) in case it's not eradicated now in 2020.uan
    • Comparing to the flu is not stupid. It’s accurate. And this virus doesn’t kill any differently.monospaced
    • pff. yes it does, 3x more reproductive than flu and the load it puts on your body is 10x, and see how the mortality rate is growing.
      ********
    • That’s not true though. We won’t know real percentages for a very long time. It appears high because there are probably countless undiagnosedmonospaced
    • The load on the body is the same. Even less as it doesn’t even seem to hurt young people at all.monospaced
    • just think about what does "countless undiagnosed" means in this logic. those percentages we anticipated underestimated the capabilities of this virus...
