Your invective towards the "mass media" was much less thinly veiled than anything Elaine said. 4-5 times more contagious than the flu and a good solid order of magnitude more lethal. Ignoring that is like saying that people driving under the influence of alcohol going 150+ MPH don't cause as many accidents as those driving under the speed limit completely sober shouldn't be cited or reeled back in. It really isn't that tough to figure out. Thank you for supplying facts that I am guessing you had confirmed by your medical doctor wife :agree:. I had heard the same statistic. I am thankful for the mass media (such as CNBC and CNN) for bringing on doctors and scientists from the institutions I mentioned in my previous post to provide the FACTS to help form my opinions. I also refer to the CDC's website, because I trust science more than politicians. Edit: Michael Heather, according to an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution: "The mortality rate for the seasonal flu is 0.1%, or 1 in 1,000 people. According to the World Health Organization, the latest estimate for the fatality rate for the coronavirus stands at 3.4%" "Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, warned lawmakers last week that, without aggressive efforts, the number of those infected would go way up to the "many, many millions." Michael, read that last word: millions.
