NYT: Study finds "fatality rate of COVID19 resembling that of seasonal flu"

[Bt1 5,213]

Where are those people who scream "dont compare it with the flu" now? 

[Robagaga 9,345]

How many times do we have to repeat the mortality rate isn't the only issue. 

WE DONT HAVE A VACCINE

ITS A NEW DISEASE

THERE IS NO HERD IMMUNITY COS OF VACCINES SO ITS SPREADS LIKE CRAZY

IT IS MUCH MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN THE FLU

[Fish 6,259]

many other studies show that a small fraction of people have been infected. Also, it is unclear if getting it immunizes you for the next time. 

 

go tell that to the thousands of Italians dying alone in a tent 

[heygurlhi 3,200]

is that good or bad ?

[Varys 30,916]

Sure because hospitals get flooded and healthcare systems can't cope during the regular flu.

COVID-19 is a massive issue and it’s much worse than the flu - especially for elderly people. But this article does imply that herd immunity may become a reality sooner than we expected.

No one is minimizing this, but there are people like you who made out of this something that it isnt and now that there are more and more evidence that this isnt what you / we believe it is, u dont want to back down, look at the data, accept the evidence and make a new plan.

There are many people walking around that are asymptomatic. They just tested a prison in my hometown (all prisoners it seems), and 98% of the roughly 300 that tested positive were asymptomatic.  To me that's more scary than anything as people are protesting to reopen things.  So people are walking around not even knowing they have the virus and passing it on to everyone they come in contact with.

Well. Look it up. It happened in some places like Italy before.

If u dont have health issues, that should be good news to you. 

However, you should continue limit the interactions with family, older friends, even if you are healthy.

Receipts please.

actually i phrased that wrong, i hope this is true so that not as many people as previously thought are in danger. we must still protect the vulnerable no matter what the mortality rate!!!
