Seasonal Flu across the world has death rate of 0,1%, last year in Poland it had 0,0004%. Coronavirus has 1-2%. Do the math genius.


So is there anybody in his right mind who'd say we couldn't do well with 2% less people?

Remember you cannot select which 2 % will die. It won't be just mass murderers and generally evil people 3 my grandparents died in 2 years and that were very shitty 2 years. And remember mostly old people die from COVID.

There is no way a flu virus can kill 2% of the population. The true risks and numbers will be clear soon enough.

Too bad the vaccine is still a few months down the road, I am not looking forward to this continued mass scare.

This is NOT flu. Based on the numbesr of WHO the death rate is over 3 %. If you have better sources than WHO post them.

According to what I've read, a vaccine will take about 1-1.5 years, but maybe china or some other country makes dangerous human tests so it could go a bit faster.

That said, it's not about the death rate. But I won't explain why again because many people have in here before, so if you just wanna downplay the virus because of a low death rate, go on.

I could kind of see where the skeptics are coming from; as a private person you can't do much so it's very understandable that people don't want to stress out over things outside of their control.
And no, there is no need to panic - but yes, there is a need to take measures, which governments & health organizations are doing. Hopefully that would help to contain the epidemic.

Search on the internet for the spanish flu then. That is what could happen if an epedemic is going unchecked.

Leading causes of death in the low income countries which can be prevented or lowered
HIV/AIDS
Diarrhoeal diseases(you would be surprise how many children die from this) - these are, BTW, completely preventable
Malaria
Tubercolosis
Birth asphyxia and birth trauma

Most of these are nonexistant in the west but west have their own issues.

Oh yeah guy on the internet with no credible medical or research background and zero data, research backing up claims , think they know better than tens of thousands of professionals and only they know the truth, everyone else is indoctrinated by media or authorities.

Do people who spent money on tickets get a refund? I would be livid if I traveled all the way to Poland and then got surprised at the last minute by something like this.

I bought a ticket and got 2 e-mails at 2 am that refund info will be provided next week. So seems to be they indeed will refund the ticket, but not travel costs obviously
