    WHO Report of March 2, 2020.
    Total number of cases (confirmed) in China - 80,174.
    Total number of deaths (confirmed) in China - 2,915.
    Total number of cases (confirmed) outside of China - 8,774.
    Total number of deaths (confirmed) outside of China - 128.
    This leads to a confirmed Death Rate in China of ~3% and a confirmed Death Rate outside of China of ~1%


    In the United States, the CDC rates this years flu season as 'moderate to low, with a death rate of 6.9%, 32 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 18,000 deaths. This is not a flu epidemic year (below the threshold of 7.3%). Note that 125 of those deaths are pediatric.



    The Boot is posting this to help quell the hair-on-fire panic mongering and conspiracy silliness that this thread seems especially prone to. The Boot is giving comparative information of this years US flu season to put the COVID-19 nonsense into perspective.

    Since this thread keeps generating derails and the consequent threadbans, a clarification is in order.

    This thread is for talking about COVID-19 and the direct consequences of/responses to it.

    If it has to do with the virus or what is being done (by individuals, corporations, or governments) in direct response to the virus then it is on topic for this thread.


    If it has to do with anything else and/or cannot be tied directly to the virus then it will be seen as a derail in this thread and threadbans will follow for everyone involved in the derail (starting at 24 hours and rapidly escalating for individuals who continue to derail).
