Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

This is it.
This is what?

Line by line --

The CDC tells us that 60 million people (in the USA) had the swine flu. -> factual

How do they know this? --> question

Did they base this number from "positive tests" or did they estimate the reach of the pandemic? --> question

The flu is estimated as well. This is why the numbers of fatalities are so much smaller in comparison (percentage wise) to COVID-19. -- conjecture

The CDC is using only confirmed cases as their pool resource, when in actuality, the real number of those who have been infected is almost certainly much higher, and due to Covid's extreme infectiousness, probably astronomically higher. --> conjecture with no backup data
 

Here we were having a nice discussion about the current coronavirus problems and you shifted to 2010 with no warning. Is that the way your wingnut twitter feed handled it? If you want us to participate or comment on that thread you should provide a link so we know where the conversation is going.
 
Your RN friend in Thousand Oaks told you about an article from Rochester, NY?
No you fucking pin headed moron.
She mentioned the high number of deaths from the flu this season and that it was not being reported like the corona virus.
So I googled 'flu deaths this season in the us". The Rochester article was the most current. I opened and posted it.
Pull up the article and read it...I posted it for information and education.
Obviously you already know everything there is to know about such things.
Now go wash your hands and put your head back in your ass.

No comment on its errors? Including the one you boosted with bold font?

The links to the CDC data (which, coincidentally, came up on the top of my google search for the same terms) were right there in the article. Didn't you read them? The errors in the Rochester article should have been obvious.

My RN buddy has not treated any corona virus patients, but has treated many folks with the flu...Los Robles is a pretty big center..
Errors? The CDC is the one doing the estimating, those would be their errors...
*Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza. These estimates are calculated based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data and are preliminary.
Sounds a bit like the corona virus estimates...

The Rochester article incorrectly quoted the CDC numbers, as I have already explained.
 
When the guy the bad news is about keeps telling you it is fake, but says the stuff he likes is very accurate it makes a rational, thinking person think.

Did you ask your RN buddy why Trump is on TV every day talking about the coronavirus and not the flu? Not to mention governors and mayors.
