According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48.8 million people were sickened with influenza in 2017-18, a particularly bad year for the flu. Of those, nearly a million had to be hospitalized and 79,400 died.

Strangely not in the papers.

And your point is what exactly? Everyone knows about Flu, how quickly it spreads and it's death rate which is quite low. And there is a vaccine for Flu.

You're so close but you still don't quite get it, do you? Work out what percentage 79,400 is of 48.8m people. I'm using your unsourced numbers here but I looked it up and the generally accepted fatality rate of seasonal flu is <0.1%. And there are known working vaccines.

His numbers are from the CDC website and quote approx 0.05% death rate in America. The 79400 highest (2017-2018 Year) in about 10 years. 2019-20 estimated at max 25k

Still don't get his point though

If you count coronavirus having 3% - a 60 times worse death rate than 0.05% that 79,400 becomes ~4.8 million.

That'd make the papers I'd wager. Just like coronavirus.

Or would that still be scaremongering @Job?


Edit: Still - maths still don't add up there...

As we dont know the infection figures its a bit hard to conclude.


My point is the death toll is immense, why dont we quarantine all flus.

70k out of 7.7 billions not that many. and most of them will be old and infirm before they got it. Many in places where there is t a flu vaccine. Thing about this is its new unquantified and in china. So no one knows how much truth is coming from the closed authorities who are known for lying to save face.

I know its obvious, but the world is passing into a self reflection hysteria phase.
I can guarantee you this virus and its publicity seems to have tipped over the edge and we will see workplace legislation put in place.
Either proof of flujab or banning people from work if they have the flu.

Tbh if you really have the flu you wont be able to go to work. But i hate all the martyrs who slog in full of cold and shit spreading their diseases cause they think it makes a difference to the care the company dont give for them.

Kids are worse man, some parents just send their kids to school when they're clearly not well enough to be there and are just passing their illness to the other kids and their parents.

I had a kid walk in into tutor group (First thing in the morning) she sat down, slumped in her chair with her face down. I asked her if she was alright, she looked up and her face was white.

Sent her home there and then.

It's fucking stupid and selfish.

So you agree then.

Theyve started on vaccinations and flu is the next obvious step.

Because there was only one polio afaik, there are many influenzas. At least that's my understanding of it anyway.
