Default What have we learned from all this?


It's a hoax people. https://www.market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=239066
If you are waiting for government permission to go back to living, good luck.


I don't see the hoax, but agree waiting on the govt to do something useful seems at best a matter of luck.

Sadly, that URL looked like it had links to data, but didn't seem to.

Looking up the CDC numbers for a typical flu season:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html
(For a bad year multiply by 1.5)

Deaths 40k
Hospital 500k
Medical visit 15M
Symptoms 30m
Asymptomatic Not tracked

40k is 122/million US folks

New York has already had 20k deaths, which is 1063/million

Even with counting uncertainties, 1063 looks like a bigger problem than 122?
