Covid-19 Pandemic (Corona Virus)

yep. 25000 on 5,526,216 cases. now, do the math and say again your final line...

6000 deaths on an estimated 650.000 cases. should be about 50.000 deaths if it would ever infect the same number of people.

that's about two to three years worth of flu.

That's spread over many months, and across entire countries. Try getting this many in a small region and over a matter of weeks....

the average flu epidemic lasts 5 weeks, killing thousands a day at its peak.
the average flu epidemic kills about 10% of hospitalized patients, corona kills about 9%.

yes its bad, yes it kills people. but looking at it objectively, it is really not that bad that we should shut down the entire economy. we accept much bigger numbers of deaths from other causes without creating a fuzz about it.
