For starters, based on the figures we have the fatality rate for covid-19 is between 10 and 20 times as high as the flu were used to having to dealing with.That is all true of influenza.
-There are new strains regularly.
-We have minimally effective vaccines, so we don’t yet know how to treat flu.
-Flu is deadly. Mainly to the old, the very young, and the infirm. Just like Covid-19.
-Flu spreads quickly.
-Flu is everywhere.
What’s the difference ?
Seriously...what is the difference ?
So, again...

5 Million Cases Worldwide, 650,000 Deaths Annually: The Seasonal Flu Virus is a "Serious Concern", But the Wuhan Coronavirus Grabs the Headlines - Global Research
“
The common flu causes up to 5 million cases of severe illness worldwide and kills up to 650,000 people every year, according to the World Health Organization
In the US:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that so far this season, there have been at least 15 million flu illnesses for the 2019-2020 season, 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths in the U.S. The CDC reports there have been 54 reported flu-related pediatric deaths this season from Influenza B viruses. (The Hill)”
VOX said:Dr. Anne Schuchat, deputy director of the CDC, stated that her organization believes China is underreporting Covid-19 data.
Many believe the Chinese government is still underreporting Covid-19 data. Unconfirmed reports suggest that these assumptions may be correct.
According to the Epoch Times, an anti-communist news outlet in New York, Chinese authorities may have underreported daily Covid-19 infection rates by up to 520% in Shandong province. The report claims to use leaked internal documents to substantiate these bold claims.
Covid-19 Is On The Verge Of Being Declared A Pandemic
This is what she had to say at a press event on Feb. 11:
"We absolutely assume that the reported cases are underestimated. The early exportation of the virus to a number of countries was used by mathematical modelers to estimate what the total cases must be."
The CDC is not alone in its suspicion of China’s numbers.
According to a study from Ohio State University, the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak could be more widespread than the Chinese authorities are admitting. These researchers conducted a modeling study that estimated the real infection rate to be five to ten times higher than the official government data.
What’s the difference ?
Seriously...what is the difference ?
.
A propos to that - globally, hundreds of thousands of people die from flu every year.
So why is there global panic in 2020 ?
To reiterate what @Yazata said in post #27: for me, the fact that governments are shutting down cities, imposing travel bans, quarantining people en masse', and the fact that the WHO and the CDC are telling us to prepare for the worst is difference enough.
I don't remember ever seeing this sort of reaction to any outbreak before.

As of today there are 69 confirmed cases in the US.Correct me if I'm wrong.... Listening to the news this week there were 2 confirmed cases of the corona virus in the U.S., both were in California.
Then today out of the blue someone in Washington State died from it, the first one here in the U.S.
I guess that one went under the radar. Is that an oops moment? I wonder how many more oops moments there will be.
