Fun Luvr receives Presidential Medal of Freedom, Nobel Prize for Medicine and blowjob from Ivanka Trump[/B][/QUOTE]You must be Adam Schiff in disguise, and have the same level of education as Yippiekayay. Please show me where I wrote that the world is overreacting. You can't, because I did not write that. Making untruthful statements in bold letters does not make them true.
Maybe you should read this from the CDC website, if you think you can understand it. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2435641]You obviously have a reading comprehension problem. I never projected anything in the future. I only stated what has already happened. No matter how you twist my words, you will not find anywhere that I said the coronavirus WILL kill less than the flu. I learned the difference between "has' and "will" in elementary school. Obviously you have never learned the difference.[/QUOTE]Nope:

In my opinion, there has been an over-reaction in many areas to the coronavirus. Since October, there have been an estimated 22,000 deaths in the US from the flu. There have been 116 deaths from the coronavirus since it was detected in the US. All restaurants haven't been ordered closed because of the flu. But, it is what it is and we all have to wait it out and hope for the best outcome.[/QUOTE]What you don't understand is the death rate in Italy as of today is over 8%. They are at almost 500 a day now. This isn't the flu. Stop saying and I quote you again: "there has been an over-reaction" THERE HASN'T.

There is no stopping this storm from reaching us. But so far it is only sprinkling rain and Fun Luvr sees the sprinkling and does not understand why we are stacking up sandbags and digging trenches and building dams etc -.

If this is true, hopefully Colombia will not be as badly affected.

In immunology viruses are the devil because unlike say bacterial infection where the bacteria are a living organism inside our body. The virus is the devil and takes possession of the cells soul (figuratively speaking) by changing the RNA sequence and causing the cell to misbehave.

Sadly the same thing happened in 1919. Philadelphia had 500,000 deaths, and people had to live with the dead for weeks because there was no place to bury or cremate them. The media kept telling people everything was fine. BTW, I'd love to be wrong but I reckon a lot of the naysayers are going to find out what the next three years are like the hard way.

Perspective.
Ball Park figures. Nobody can prove 100%.
10,000 people dead from Coronavirus.
500,000 flu deaths 2019.
600,000 slip and fall deaths 2019.
1,250,000 car crash deaths (3000+ per day) 2019.
All those car deaths and most people I know speed. Funny to think about really. But nobody thinks twice about jumping in their vehicles. Vroom vroom start your engines!
Remember AIDS had headlines on everything for years 30 years ago. Half the population was going to die, or at least half of Africa. Neither happened. Many guys then and since then have had unprotected sex. USA wanting to save the world gave money to countries. The countries learned if they say they had little AIDS they received little money. So if the countries said they had a lot of AIDS they received a lot of money.
Remember ZIKA 3 years ago? Have not heard a peep in 2.5 years.
How about the new study every 10 years. Eggs are good for you. Eggs are bad for you. Been hearing that change every 10 years like clockwork for the last 40 years. Same about wine and coffee. Nobody I know quit eating eggs or drinking wine and coffee.
Cell phones will give you cancer because the radiation from it. They fail to inform you that you get a 1000 times that amount of radiation just walking down the street for a few hours to equate to a lifetime or more of that cell phone next to your head. Everyone has cell phones and is reading my little story on a cancer causing cell phone or computer device. You do not seem worried about this.
Did you know there was a study on carrots? There is a deadly toxin in carrot that can kill. They forgot to mention that you would have eat a truck load of carrots in a weeks time in order to build up the amount of toxin required to kill you. It is impossible to do it even if you tried. So why even mention such a stupid study?
Put things in a little perspective. You are welcome!

I thought the "blowjob from Ivanka Trump" line would have clued you in to that.
[QUOTE]Maybe you should read this from the CDC website, if you think you can understand it. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm[/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure I've already read it. I'll verify later on. Maybe you should read the part of my post that you decided not to quote (if you think you can understand it). I'll paraphrase (golly gee that's a big word for some dumb redneck like me) it for you.
How bad the flu is, how bad coronavirus is. Neither one matters. Borders are closed, restaurants are closed, factories are closing, the entire world is shutting down. If not one more person dies from COVID-19 infection, it won't change that. Next week everything will still be shutdown. The week after everything will still be shutdown. There are millions of people who are going to be getting desperate real soon. That's what you should be thinking about.
You can argue about the flu all you want. Nothing changes. If you want, you can talk about tuberculosis. That seems to be the current favorite when I try to teach people who want to babble incoherently (holy cow! That word's longer than pa's trips to the outhouse) about the flu, simple math. Still doesn't change what is.
By the way, instead of jumping straight to the ad hominem attacks, why not dig into the actual content of the posts? We can sit around and call each other names all day if you want, but it will just make you look bad. I've got much more experience.
Now if why'all will excuse me, got to milk the hogs, slop the chickens and gather the eggs from the cows.

Prophet or Fool?
If you make enough correct predictions some people will call you a prophet. If your predictions all miss some will call you a fool. I'm definitely not a prophet and I'm most likely a fool, but I'm willing to put it to the test.
Following are my predictions for April 1, 2020. In 2 weeks you can pull up this post and tell me how big a fool you think I am. I recommend patience. If you spend the next few days telling me how wrong I am, and I'm even close to being right, I'm going to rub your nose in it.
To make it easy to find this post again, just search for jjthefool or jjtheprophet and it should pop right up. Here goes.
Worldwide coronavirus cases - 1,000,000+.
Worldwide coronavirus deaths - 20,000+.
Dow Jones Industrial Average - <17,000.
USD to COP - 4,600 per dollar.
USD to CAD - $1. 60 CAD to USD.
Bitcoin - $4800 per Bitcoin.
For comparison, here are current numbers as of 3:36 am Eastern Time:
Cases - 218,000.
Deaths - 8,700.
DJIA - 19,898.92.
USD to COP - 4158.
USD to CAD - 1.46.
Bitcoin - $5444.67.
I included Canadian dollars because I'm in Canada 2 days a week and there's a possibility I'll get stuck there if the border is closed completely. I included Bitcoin because it's something I'm tracking trying to get a better understanding of how the world economy is reacting.
Watch and wait and start preparing your worst insults.

That is not statistically significant enough to start making some blanket judgement about immunity. Alabama has about the same number of cases and has not had any deaths either.

What is the source?[/QUOTE]I don't have a primary source and my number is wrong. Out of 500,000 cases in Philadelphia 12,000 died in six months.

"In the US, about 675,000 people died of the 22 million who caught the flu. ". My number is closer to the one for the entire US. That's still very significant to have.
Yes, bad data from West Africa. I suspect a lot of countries are not testing enough so we don't know the number of actual cases. We're going to find out soon though. The virus takes up to two weeks to start showing symptoms. A new infection in a country can turn from mild to catastrophic in six weeks time. Look at Italy.
