The key word in this report is ESTIMATES, not the actual number. In early January there were ESTIMATES that c***d was of no concern, And Trump was called all kinds of unpleasant names for closing immigration from china. So much for estimates

Tell us, oh oric, where do you get your "real" numbers from? Any number, other than those that are totally made up, will be an estimate. There isn't any way to come up with a number that is guaranteed accurate Estimates made as predictions will always be problematic. Estimates made after the fact can be quite accurate.

Your "estimates" are considerably overstated as others have pointed out before me.

As for calling Trump "unpleasant names", his antics since closing immigration from China have been dreadful. One characteristic of Trump presents a serious problem for the country. He refuses to ever admit he was wrong and always finds someone else to blame for his errors. His behavior throughout this p******c has and remains fatally flawed and thousand upon thousands are dying. I cannot understand how people can accept and support such ineffectual "leadership". We are continually reminded we are the greatest country on earth, so why are we the worst country on earth at controlling this p******c?

Man has battled bacteria and v***s since the dawn of man and will continue to do so until there is no more mankind.

However....here's an interesting fact from the CDC that is something that COULD have been done....but was not so really...does how people die make a difference?

"During 2018, drug overdoses resulted in 67,367 deaths in the United States, a 4.1% decrease from 2017..

Giver the choice between dying drowning in my own mucus, and a drug od, I'll take the drugs. Drug od is also not contagious. How you can compare anything that isn't contagious, with C***d **, is beyond me.

Drugs have been around at least since John wrote Revelations.

There is v*****e for the flu

There is no v*****e fir covis.

C***d can be t***smitted asymptomatically . Flu can not.

Really stupid to compare the two!!

The flu v*****e is a guess on which strain will be prevalent and its far from a sure thing.

Its not stupid to compare the two - the flu can just as easily k**l the most vulnerable. People forget that. They get complacent about the flu because they think the v*****e is a preventative.

Really. Besides the nay sayers, where is all of this evidence.

Throwing numbers around can also be contagious.

I don't intend to diminish the seriousness of c***d ** but the seasonal flue k**ls about 100,000 people every year in the US. No panic=- no shut down- little or no effect n the economy. C***d ** has k**led about 30% more than the . seasonal flu. Just something to think about. Nobody accused Obama when something over 3/4 of a million people died while he was in office, of the seasonalflu Again, something to think about

Chinese flu will instantly go away Nov. 4, 2020.

That is because God is coming down to help Donald, it is a miracle that Dems just do not recognize. They are so heathen that they do not admit that Christ was white and think Donald is orange.

And the greater misfortune is that you did as well, we can always hope for a bad single car auto accident.
