@d.c.s.4923 that is the point. We just never monitored other deaths this closely. Now we are and it has people scared. But eventually we will get used to it.

@petprincesses yes, but they are not greatly publicized on a daily basis like the virus is.

@TheGoofy1932 you are correct overall. This virus is being overblown. Around half of the deaths are in NY and NJ. Most who are dying of this are old. In MO, a state looking to open up next week, of the 318 deaths 88% of them are 60 and older. Of those under 50 there have only been 11 deaths with no one under 20 dying. And, overall, if you plot death by age it goes up exponentially. In fact, if you use CDC data on deaths by the flu and deaths by the virus and age group, the virus is not any more deadly than the flu is for people under 50.
