Here's why that is:As Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and others have said, COVID-19 is deadlier than the flu. It's deadlier for young adults. It's deadlier for older adults. In China, early data shows that it was 10 times deadlier. This chart fromless than 1% of infected people who are over age 65

Even for younger people, the difference was striking. Flu killed .02% of infected patients age 18-49. It's 10 times that for COVID-19.But if 1 in 12 people age 70-79 who get the virus and 1 in 7 people age 80 or older who get the virus die, and the virus spreads to 20%, 40% or 70% of the population, we're talking massive death tolls, the likes of which we have never seen before in our lives.

Really useless and badly written article

'As a longtime health care REPORTER...'🤦‍♂️

It's unlike anything not because it's so bad but because it's so little and people are making such a big deal over it which is making it worse than it could be and some of it is probably on purpose for again population control

Amen!

COVID19 there is a 0.0000000199-and so on percent chance you're near anyone that has it so dont panic or else if it DOES come near you you're more likely to get it because it's attacking weakened immune systems and people who are old and/or already sick and the deaths are along
