Loading ...The reason why comparisons with the flu are idiotic is this:
During the worst flu seasons, the flu kills about 1 out of every 2,000 people who are infected.
China has officially stated that this coronavirus kills about 3%, or 3 out of every 100 that are infected.
The data that Chinese Mega-Corp Tencent accidentally released showed a mortality rate of over 16%, 1 in every 6 people that are infected.
But the scary part is the number who have recovered. Officially, it’s just over 300 out of over 30,000 infected. The Tencent data showed that it’s 300 out of over 150,000 as of the 2nd. In other words, we won’t know the real mortality rate until more people recover, and right now the only people who are recovering are those who are given a drug cocktail of massive doses of HIV drugs and flu drugs; and those just seem to provide a temporary reduction in symptoms, and the cost is too prohibitive to provide them for the masses.
