Yesterday, 78 people in America died from the flu. How many people died from the Coronavirus?

I believe at least 1/3 or more Americans will get the Coronavirus, and live through it.

Wake me up when healthy adults are dropping dead by the 100’s a day.

They will be as the virus spreads.

Right now, of the mere 128 cases reported in the US - 9 have died just this past week. That's a rate of 7%. Granted, these were all old sick people. They get pneumonia from corona, they die.

The Italian death rate is 4%.

WHO is reporting a death rate of about 3%. That's 30x higher than that of the oridinary flu - which has a mortality of .1%. The snake-like virus directly attacks the lungs.

The coronavirus is NOT the FLU. It is more far more contagious and many times more deadly than the flu.

Happy for him. Now ask Dr. Li Wenliang his thoughts. Can't, he's deceased. 34 years old.

You do know that we’ve got a huge shortage of test kits for the corona virus. The 78 folks dead from the flu is just a convenient accounting system. How many among that is actually the corona virus? The US motto is....No test, No disease.....

Yep. Who knows how many people have the coronavirus. Tons of people might be carriers and could be asymptomatic. Right now a lot of the people who have been infected/tested were in a nursing home and were the highest risk individuals. They aren’t giving tests to run-of-the-mill people with cold symptoms.

The US motto is “No Test, No Disease”........the corona virus actually came from the US. If we retest those 18000 cases of so called “flu’ deaths, I guarantee a huge portion is actually corona deaths. The US has the oldest strain of the flu. China has the second and third oldest.....you do the logic math, genius. The US just doesn’t want to admit it because the news would kill the Dow and trump’s re-election.

She is shameful with her negativity with those who she disagrees with.

The negative rhetoric out of liberals is truely amazing these days. Rather than joining President Trump to unite the country, she and many liberals are using negative rhetoric.

She should be arrested on charges of terrorism. Falls under the exact same category of "you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theatre". Not covered under free speech, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Arrest her today and make an example.

She should not joke in that way, regardless of how she feels about Trump’s treatment of the coronavirus issue. Ridiculous.
