It’s not just that people are dying, it’s the way they are dying. Drowning in their own thick mucus.

Sure we can shrug and say, well this is no different to seasonal flu, I did initially until I did a little more research. Seasonal flu, most of of us have some immunity to it, but a novel Coronavirus, crossing over from animals, no one really does. Sure, in most cases, mild symptoms are exhibited, but in the elderly, whose immune system is weak, the results are catastrophic in many cases. There are drugs available to combat the immune system issue, but the respiratory issues are another thing entirely.

Self isolate as much as you can, don’t be a carrier and pass it on to someone too weak to be infected by this.

Yes, it is a nasty bugger. It basically gives you pneumonia. However, the vast majority of the deaths are old and infirm people. People who already are at risk of death from flu / pneumonia under even the best circumstances.

Flu kills tens of thousands a year in US most of whom are also elderly. So again, how is this substantially different?

No doubt many died during last season’s flu outbreak, but this is round 2 and it will take just as many, if not more. It will not kill everyone, but the health system will be stretched, and we should be doing everything we can to deny this from happening.

New York state has roughly 45% of all coronavirus cases in the country!

www.worldometers.info...

It would be interesting to see the ethnic breakdown of these numbers.

Seems like the virus is stronger in places where are more democrat voters, isn't it.

I was thinking more in terms of European and Asian immigrants. I believe New York state has more of them than any other state in the country.

I would think that California would have a much larger Asian population than New York, both in terms of per capita and actual numbers.

Yet, in terms of total number of deaths, California lags far behind.

The influenza virus killed between 12,000 and 30,000 people in the usa last year.

That's with vaccines and antibodies.

You can multiply that by 10-50x with a strain we can't control...

Edit: Yes, San Fransisco has the largest Chinese population in the country.

Currently people that think this is going to be ok.

Another consideration is that California is warmer than New York.

For perspective:

Before corona, there was a death in NYC once every 9.1 minutes

So now instead of 6 death per hour it’s 7 deaths.

Maybe it's saving lives since a lot of the people that would be dying are staying home. Might work in Chicago too.

Not that I doubt it, but do you got a source for that?

This is the new Spanish flu, that btw didn’t originate in Spain, but in ....China.

Death today, way override the seasonal flu, and we are still counting... where this end we don’t know, but it is not ending tomorrow. Stay safe.

We don't have tests here in CA to any measurable degree. As more tests are available, more cases will be confirmed.

you actually think that they will do the right thing?

Just for fun 700,000 a year is the abortion number.

But hey let’s destroy the world for 2,000,000 people in the United States. Infant mortality is 2.1 million a year.

6 months from now you'll look back at your post and realize how small those numbers really are.

Car accidents kill 90 people a day in the USA...

Covid is already passing that...

No it’s not.

~90 People die from auto accidents per day in the states...

49 documented deaths from covid yesterday alone.

What numbers are you looking at?

Because by Monday CV19 will overtake auto accidents by a long shot.... Sadly...

www.worldometers.info...

(Click on per day...)

By next week, it will be more dangerous to walk in public than you drive your car.

You said more than 90 a day and I said no it’s not. To prove your point you said it’s 45 which by my count is less than 90. Do you have corona now? I think you are delirious.

If you aren't taking it seriously yet...

It's time to start...

The coronavirus killed city residents at a rate of more than one per hour on Friday.

Between just 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., 14 people in New York City died from the virus, pushing the Big Apple’s total death toll to 43.

Check this out...

It's going to be far from ok, but we will get through it

a reply to: iwanttobelieve70

Yes, actually, I have.

And our growth factor over the last 2 days is 1.42...

Stop being part of the problem and just stay inside. That's all we're asking from everyone...

Oh well.. Bye nyc. You wont be missed

Denial is a natural step to acceptance.

It's just sad that some members on here will have to bury relatives before they know that it is reality...

I doubt you are right. No religion in my family to warrent church gardens.

Maybe I'll watch a cremation online.
