You are correct in that it’s not just like the flu. It’s much less severe and not as trendy. You can’t sell the flu. This you can sell.

You seem really hung up on the fact that the flu has killed more people. But based on all the studies we've seen so far, this virus is more contagious than the flu, and more deadly as well. If it infects the same number of people as the flu does every year, a lot more people will die.

There is little evidence of that other than people manipulating the numbers to favor that outcome.

Even within China, Outside of Hubei the fatality rate is just 0.4%.

This 10x nonsense is so utterly bogus. People literally can not think for themselves anymore. Just read and regurgitate FUD.
