You can't say the number of cases is the sole metric. The question is what does it mean if you do get it? Again, just like the flu. Just because we have the same amount of people who may get it as Italy, does not mean we will have the same number of deaths, etc. |

Most medical professionals I have talked too fully expect the number of cases to go up but that does not mean the mortality rate has to go up. It most likely will go down as we see more cases. And so far, cross our fingers, that has been the case. We were at a 2.5% mortality rate last week. we are now between 1.6%-1.7%. The haunting reality of Italy is not the number of people getting it but the number of people dying from it. |

Right now we have a total of 109 deaths from a total of 6,439 total cases. And yes, you can. That's all you can do. 109/6439 =1.69% |

You literally compared it to the flu "a shit ton of people are going to get it just like a shit ton get the flu"
You do realize we have treatments for the flu there is no treatment for this and just because we might not have the death tolls of italy were still on the same trajectory for number of cases and that will put immense stress on our health care system paired with our already tanking economy this isnt good. Yet dumbassss like you keep making up arguments "it's just the flu" "it's not that bad" etc etc |

Over half of France's 300 coronavirus ICU patients under age 60
https://thehill.com/changing-america...-patients-with the flu doesn't put people under 60 in the icu for the most part. This shit is bad. |

Do you think 1 out of 2 people who get this are going to die? |

Yes, its currently artificially high because it first hit a nursing home in Washington but so far outside of China the case mortality rate has been higher than expected. |
