5 Million Cases Worldwide, 650,000 Deaths Annually: The Seasonal Flu Virus is a “Serious Concern”, But the Wuhan Coronavirus Grabs the Headlines

First published on January 27, 2020. Figures quoted for the coranavirus pertain to late January

The common flu virus will infect millions across the globe. It can be easily spread and will especially strike the young and the elderly. But this is not what has been described as the Wuhan virus. The common flu is far deadlier. This is not to downplay the Wuhan coronavirus flu, or to give it its medical name, 2019-nCoV.

The common flu causes up to 5 million cases of severe illness worldwide and kills up to 650,000 people every year, according to the World Health Organization

I just love the look on peoples faces whey you call Covid the flu. First they get this look of confused righteous indignation, as if you were an idiot parasite, and then comes eye roll as they start to walk away. Or even better, they begin to lecture you on how Covid is some extraterrestrial virus that is unlike any virus that has ever existed, so much so that it deserves its own separate classification.

Ask the President. He could be using his bully pulpit to demand everyone opens up 100%. Every day.

But he's not. Must be part of the hoax.

But, Nos, the Covid virus is SERIOUS STUFF. It spreads easily, like the Flu, people die from it, like the Flu, and you can get very ill from it, like the Flu.

The only difference is that with the Flu, I never met a person who had the Flu that didn't wish themselves dead, they were so miserably sick. Whereas with the Wuhan Virus, 99 out of 100 people who pick it up, never even develop symptoms, or mild at best.

The Covid-19 Wuhan Virus is a coronavirus.

Well, that's fake news.

The real flu numbers are an estimated range, not a total.

The actual facts are 250,000-650,000 world wide in any given year. Is an estimate because many third world countries are not capable of tracking the numbers and have higher morbidity because of limited treatment capabilities.

Covid19 on the other hand we suspect we are underestimating yet we have already reached the average flu season in just a few months.

Dunno. Media narrative mostly aimed at destroying the economy or making themselves feel better? Like I said what number makes it okay to shutdown for Covid but not the flu?

You can't reason with these people. They have no comprehension of past viruses. They cower in fear over a virus that has a death rate of less than 1 percent.
