US coronavirus infections just surpassed 1,000 as global death rate reaches 6% which is 60 times higher than the seasonal flu.

- Death rate is not 6%. And even if it were that’s not 60x the flu rate. That math is wrong and this kind of misinformation is damaging to the public.monospaced
- death rate, even in case all the critical patients die, is less than 1%srhadden
- naturalnews is a BS websitesrhadden
- lol...so much contradictory information floating around.yuekit
- falseapi
- The WHO has said their best estimate of the death rate is 3.4%.yuekit
- It’s probably close to 1% and only for the frail and elderly or those with respiratory fisease.monospaced
- Yeah it's really hard to say. In Korea it is below 1%. In Italy it is currently at 5% which is crazy.yuekit

has anyone explained to the Fox news morons asking why we don't have the same response to Influenza that nearly 180 million US citizens get a flu vaccine each year?
also, a policy of no paid sick leave is cruelty.

I don't understand why the UK (and Ireland?) are exempt from the travel ban... anyone?

- Business
https://www.business…Bluejam - it's got to be more than that... cuz that's as retarded a reason that I can think of... :/ What I mean by that is it feels to be 'too easy' an explanation.PonyBoy
- I mean... if that's truly the reason... then... we... are... fucked.PonyBoy
- yeah they want to show they have a closer relationship to the UK/Ireland than Europe because of businessNutter
- probably Schengen - I reckon someone told him about freedom of movement in EU Schengen zone and he 'did the math'Fax_Benson
- but seriously, why waste time trying to decipher logicFax_Benson
- More precisely, why waste time trying to decipher logic that doesn't exist to begin with.Continuity
- they probably know UK will do the same soon, or something like that.uan

Fire rescue: Passenger at PBIA (Palm Beach International Airport, Florida) diagnosed with coronavirus
https://www.wpbf.com/article/pas…
"The aircrew and 114 passengers were stuck on the plane for hours.
Just before 11 o'clock, the two people in masks and gloves walked off the plane.
About 30 minutes later, other passengers were allowed off.
Within an hour, all passengers had deplaned.
The passengers said they were told to monitor their health over the next couple of days. They were allowed to leave the airport without seeing a doctor."
sooo... right now we're allowing passengers to just 'go home'? Who's to say these folks don't hit up a CircleK / Quiktrip or run inside a supermarket / drugstore?? I thought this virus was supposed to be uber transmittable... that people can carry mad amounts of the virus and not even know it...
... how are 'they' just letting these folks sit and incubate ("The aircrew and 114 passengers were stuck on the plane for hours"??) then just send them out amongst other Floridians (all Florida jokes aside)?
Yeah... I've been pissy about the politically motivated panic in the media not to mention I'm not looking forward to cleaning the devil's ring w/my wife's curtains... but I truly don't understand how they just let everyone go home.

Japan is probably underreporting due to the Olympics.
- Olympics will probably be cancelled... experts says we're just at the beginning of it, i dont see how they can go with such an event with a pandemyBennn
- so many events are already get cancelled and these are way way smaller event than the Olympics wich is probably the biggest eventBennn
- but yeah, I dont think Japan is underreporting. Any leggit info about it?Bennn

This is insane. We have no clue about this bug. Yet, we prance around as we do. They even called it "Novel" in the beginning only to dismiss as a more common flu. 40+ now getting hammered. Stays alive in the air, lives up to 15 hours (we were told an hour), leaves tunnels in people's lungs, incubation time changes every day, 4 days, 15, days, 4+15 days, ...
No wonder there is panic, we don't know shit.
- yes this is serious and it seems it may push us all in a recession too ... all this because someone ate a bat in China. Its crazy.Bennn
- It’s actually very well known as coronaviruses are not new and have been studied for several decades. Stay home, rest, fluids and reduce contact. Simple.monospaced
- Panic is all because of people like Bennn who feel the need to share all the paranoia constantly. It doesn’t help.monospaced
- People don’t know shit because of the gross misinformation.monospaced
- Italy ... Bro ... they are deciding who lives and dies. Their health system is crippled. If prepared, most people would not die.dibec

wash da hands
no touch da face.dibec - "novel" here just means "new" - not trivial. It's a new strain of a common virus. ffs.ben_
- Its transmissible by air... hand washing is v important, but you can catch it just by breathing... watch that Rogan's podcast with that expert.Bennn
- The best way to stop the virus is for people to stop catching the virus.deadsperm
- Bennn. Same for the flu! Joe Rohan is a comedian and actor ffs.monospaced
- monospaced, it seems like you are getting completely different version of the news than the rest of us :)yuekit
- Yeah Bennn please do our species a favour and calm down a bit, stop listening to JR, check cdc announcements, be diligent but be rational.ben_
- If it is not serious, why did China and Italy quarantine millions of people and basically shut down their entire economies?yuekit
- I don't think anyone sane is saying it's not serious, but being hysterical about it isn't helping either.ben_
- I didn’t say it’s not serious. My information isn’t bad it’s just not tainted by sensationalist media. Mine is 100% from front line doctors.monospaced
- I’m self quarantined. I’m not out licking walls and kissing strangers. I’m taking it very seriously. But acting like a global killer is here is moronic.monospaced
- Smoke em if you got emdibec
- Italy and China shut down because they are trying to stop the spread.monospaced
- Italy and China saw what was happening and took very drastic action, basically crippling their own economies to stop it.yuekit
- hey don't downvote my feelings and thoughts bullies.dibec
- Is the USA prepared to do the same? Doesn't seem like it.yuekit
- I hope I'm wrong, but it seems very possible that in a week or two the US will have tens of thousands of cases. And then the shit will really hit the fan.yuekit
- lol when i said check that Rogan's podcast, i didnt say listen to Rogan but listen the expert who talked to Rogan... oh you guysBennn
- yeah and that one expert sends you into a tailspin. pull up on the stick bud!ben_
- @Bennn, I listen to many more experts than some dude on a comedian's talk show. You should do the same.monospaced
- geez man, your experts are better than my experts, is it what you're telling me right now? How old are you?Bennn
- have you actually listened it? Do you who he is and what he do and have done?Bennn
