[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3335406, member: 41653"] A link to CDC press briefing yesterday, Mar 10 2020. The first several paragraphs tell what is what. [URL]https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0309-covid-19-update.html[/URL] Briefly, the Head of Immunization and Respiratory Diseases spoke. She pretty much said to calm down. 80% of COVID infectees don't notice anything but bad cold symptoms. Kids don't seem to catch it, only 2% of victims are under 19. All deaths have occured to people already weakened by underlying problems; diabetes, heart disease, etc. My comments: Now, compare to regular influenza : 18,000 people in the US have died from influenza this season. 32 million people in the US had to have additional medical treatment for influenza 10% of the population). Covid is a new virus, there is no immunity to it in the population. The media seem to be blowing this our of proportion, perhaps due to political motivations. [/QUOTE]
