Warren Zevon Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) 13 hours ago, Foxx said: the flu, which we have a vaccine for every year currently has a mortality rate of around .8%. Where is this data from? According to the latest CDC estimates for people with the flu if you go by deaths per hospitalizations it's .069 or 7%. Deaths per medical visits is .002 or 0.2% and if you go by deaths per flu symptoms it's way less than that. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html Edited March 11, 2020 by Gary Busey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Sooooo, the ones that are affected most are the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions? Sound a little like population control to anyone? Take out the ones who have lived "long enough" and those whom are perceived as a "burden" on society by some? Either way, this whole thing wreaks of bs. I was told it was Anthrax that would get us, then the Bird Flu, the Swine Flu, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, MERS-CoV, now the Coronavirus, and talk is starting about Dengue Fever. It's always something and there's always an angle to the fear-mongering they push on the people. Read something yesterday that stood out which was Pharmacy companies keeping an eye on "20 Medicines which are China dependent" in the afternoon. Can you see the price hikes coming yet? I can, but for some reason they just gave a number and didn't list the actual names of the medications. Wonder why that is? Hmmmmm... No matter what continue to stockpile the TP for your bunghole, hand sanitizer, Lysol, dust masks, plastic bags to make those awesome little outfits I have seen some people wearing, and lock yourself in your homes at all times. Hopefully this cuts down on the lines at Bush Gardens and Kings Dominion this year so I'm not sitting in line for an hour and a half for a single roller coaster. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the conspiracy theory being floated in China. They're scared of the hell they wrought with the one-child policy that's leaving them with too many old people and not enough youngsters to support the aging population. Lo and behold, you have a virus originating in central China that only takes out the old folk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
