Remember when just about everyone in the thread was saying this was no big deal?
It's just the flu bro. I was hopeful that was just the case, too, at least for younger people when I first started digging through Chinese pandemic statistics. Unfortunately it isn't.
Do you still believe it's no big deal?
On average 15,000 to 40,000 people die every year in the USA from flu-like illnesses and complications.
This thing has already taken 11,000 and there is no end in sight. This is after all of the precautions, social distancing and shit we've done. 100,000+ are going to die in the USA of this on our current trajectory even accounting for the extreme measures we've put in place.
Thank god we didn't listen to you all or millions would end up dying instead of thousands. This is why you listen to doctors and infectious disease experts.
If any of you still think this is no big deal? Then you are ignorant and there is no helping you.
