The BIG THING that most people haven't came to grips with is how contagious WuFlu is and the EXPONENTIAL growth of the number of infected people.


Yeah think about this...if we successfully quarantine every single person that shows symptoms serious enough to go get tested, we have only quarantined maybe 30% of carriers. Maybe as many as 40%-50% of the people infected are just taking over the counter meds, or nothing at all and going about their day.

What makes this thing so crazy is that the people that are saying “it’s just a cold” are right in many ways and in most cases. And the people that are worried about how much damage it does are right too. It’s spreading like wildfire because of how harmless it is and it’s reeking havoc because of how harmful it is.
 
This is last year flu season- USA. Note the 34,200 deaths from the Flu last year in the USA alone.

"CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza"

Sure Flu is .1 death rate. If same number get CV and death rate is somewhere between .5 to 3.6 you're looking at 175k to 1.25mil dead. Quite a big difference.
 
When it gets to Africa, India, South America, the Middle East, we will know for certain how bad it is. I am ready for the "Health Authorities" to say it has mutated and is not as potent now when these countries are not devastated.
