Reporting on a death is spreading panic? Are you serious? You’re spreading lies. The flu infects tens of millions and out of those less than 1% die, with this virus the death rate is around 3% ICU is required for around 20%, for the flu? It’s again less than 1%. Its early too

Clearly you haven’t read any studies nor have you kept up and seen what China is doing. You’re literally trying to claim it’s not as bad as the flu; meanwhile in China they’ve locked down 50 million people, people in hazmat suits shove others in boxes, military shows up to homes

Crematoriums running 24/7, burials made illegal, bodies burned before diagnosed. And it’s extremely infectious. Do not spread misinformation. I’m not saying to panic and be alarmist but this will eventually be declared a pandemic. The 20-25% rate of ICU is the major thing

I agree with you mostly but the issue is we don't actually know how many people are infected, maybe a lot of people have it mildly and haven't been tested/confirmed, that would bring the ICU rate down, it's possibly being inflatted right now

Cause if you're walking around with mild symptoms the last thing you're going to do is go to hospital to be locked in quarantine

That’s a fair point as well, and most will have more mild of symptoms, people try to downplay it based off headlines. I mean look at all the things China is doing and they have way more info than us for example What’s also bad is it can be mild then a week in take a bad turn
