Coronavirous and hobbying?

Here are the numbers from the CDC as of 5 days ago
So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 34 million illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Your percentages were off though Gentleman in your prior post. Like James pointed out. He's right.

Currently the coronavirus "appears" to be more lethal (particularly to certain subsections of the populations such a elderly and/or comprised respiratory systems). That being said, yes, flu kills FAR more people in total numbers.

The main factor I'd like people to consider is that we are not even close to seeing true percentages yet b/c we do not have proper testing or accounting of all those who actually have CoV19.

As such, we are experiencing a statistical skewing b/c the deaths when they happen are obvious but the vast number of people who have or had (and are no longer sick) go unreported. This is much less the case with the flu where we have far more accurate reporting and data.

The top Polish Army General tested positive for the C virus, also the top US Army General in Europe has it. A German citizen died yesterday over in Egypt from the virus. Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz has it now. A Veterans home in Linn County, Oregon has it in a few vets.

All imports have been blocked from all West coast ports coming in from China. That's 25% of all goods coming into the US. Although imho we don't really need any other countries stuff. We have every thing in our country that we need to survive. Plus Alaska and Hawaii and all of the US trust territories. Our resources, if done right can sustain our country.

The US has surpassed the Saudis in oil output. We have the largest copper mine in the world up in Alaska called the Red Dog mine. Again, we could completely close the borders and deal with the virus. But if greed wasn't the biggest problem in our country, we could honestly do it until it's been dealt with accordingly. Then open back up for business.
