Thread: 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

    Article from 31 March 2020, As NYC Nears 1,000 COVID-19 Deaths, How Does Pandemic Compare to Typical Flu Season?

    Two quotes:

    New York had 4,749 deaths as a result of influenza and pneumonia in 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control (statistics for 2019 were not available).

    If divided equally over the course of a year, slightly under 400 New Yorkers died each month in 2018 from the flu or pneumonia, around 167 of whom were in the city. It is consistently one of the top five causes of death in the state and NYC.

    As of yesterday's numbers for COVID-19, New York has had a total of 17,131 deaths so far and added 1,025 more in one day. For the flu, we were not under stay at home and other restrictions like we are now. To me, comparing the flu to COVID-19 is an apple to orange comparison. What we are having to deal with now is much more contagious.

    I saw the same news reports. But, I believe, as my grandfather did, that communists are lying devils.

    I truly hope and pray that you and your wife are able to stay healthy. This virus is no joke.

I think that's what gets to a lot of us. We're told that this one is much more dangerous than the run of the mill flu.

    I'm doing everything I can do to keep from bringing it into my home.

    Will do. I also will not sit idly by when fringe thinkers jeopardize the health and welfare of the general population. The only reason this virus hasn't killed hundreds of thousands of Americans is because of the stay at home orders that have been ordered.

    I agree. One reason for the higher death toll is because of the Chinese trying to cover up the virus. Without the actions we have taken, the results would be far worse than the flu.

    Just keep ad hominem attacks out of the conversation. We can defend a particular position without attacking the character of another. One such example in this conversation is, "Your lack of knowledge..." That's an attack, and things can get quite personal after such an attack. That's why I stepped in when I did. Also, keep in mind that this conversation is occuring on DreamboatAnnie's Account Talk. Let's not hi-jack it.

    Yeah, I thought that was uncalled for, by Valkyrie, but didn't take the bait.

    Here we are, a month later, and the US has 75,576 deaths. Previous projections updated on April 12th were for total to the start of August. Now projecting 134k... Which is above the April 12th update's upper limit on the range of 127k.

    At this point, anyone who still thinks the flu is worse isn't going to ever change their mind.

    Now its predicting a peak on April 12th. Total deaths projected at ~60k (31k to 127k). I think the Update on April 5th was to ~80k, and prior to April 5th it was ~93k but I can't remember.

    Hearing more and more people trying to pin this on Bill Gates, somehow.
