Overall, China CDC found, 2.3% of confirmed cases died. But the fatality rate was 14.8% in people 80 or older, likely reflecting the presence of other diseases, a weaker immune system, or simply worse overall health. By contrast, the fatality rate was 1.3% in 50-somethings, 0.4% in 40-somethings, and 0.2% in people 10 to 39. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/#S2 Quote Based on National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance data available on February 27, 2020, 6.9% of the deaths occurring during the week ending February 15, 2020 (week 7) were due to P&I. This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 7.3% for week 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 What makes this so much worse than a normal flu season? Is it just because it's contagious earlier? Or is it just the media wanting to create a panic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just the media wanting to create a panic It attacks the body differently than a flu or cold, so it's got people freaked out. In severe cases, it attacks the lungs and causes fluid buildup, making it really hard to breathe. It's also really contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just the media wanting to create a panic Because its potential to decimate concentrated, vulnerable communities; ie Retirement Communities, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, etc. Example ; the nursing home in a suburb of Seattle. One nurse went to work, not showing any symptoms, and boom, 7 people dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just the media wanting to create a panic Coronavirus is much more containable than the flu, so media coverage on this could be impactful and limit mortality in vulnerable populations, whereas the flu spreads regardless of how you isolate infected people.
