There is no need to worry because the vast majority of cases result in just minor symptoms or no symptoms at all. It is no worse than seasonal flu. In fact when all the data is in it will probably show that it is even milder.

Not true....covida is actually 50 times more deadly than the flu,just that flu has infected 500 million people while covinda has only 100,000 cases so far.death rate of covinda is 2 in 100 Vs 1 in 1000 in flu.

It's not 2% it is way lower. 2% is the percentage of people who were sick enough to be tested vs those that died.

The vast majority have not symptoms or symptoms that are so mild that they did not even bother to see a doctor. The real figure is 0.2% or less.

U could say the same for flu,how many people do not bother to go to the doctor because of a little cold and sniffles?otherwise how they even arrive at the figure 500 million people might have flu,how else would 500 million people get the flu if nobody gave a damn?

out of those 500 million only 500,000 ended up dead......we only need 25 million covida cases to arrive at the same deaths.its a good population cleanser.25 million is the pop of Malaysia or Australia.

Because the flu virus has been studied for years and the authorities are very familiar with the disease they use statistical methods to extrapolate the figures.

Once the coronavirus becomes commonplace the CDC will be able to do the same thing and the figures will show just how overblown this whole issue is.

And lets assume the worst case scenario and my predictions are wrong and the disease turns out to be very serious it is hardly a catastrophe because the virus targets the old and the weak that are a burden to society in the first place.

By ridding the world of those who are already liabilities the rest of humanity can enjoy the benefits of a reduction in the population and the resulting reduction of the carbon footprint of mankind.

Future generations will benefit considerably.

I suspect the high death rate is partly due to lack of herd immunity.

Once large numbers of people develop antibodies against this pathogen, the mortality rate should decline to common cold levels
