it's crazy, due to their elderly population it has killed more than 700 people, which is very high for COVID-19. The flu kills about 1% of those infected according to the mainstream news meadia (not fox news...), a third of covid-19.

Nobody who's talking about the coronavirus is doubting that it's a flu variant. Also, people aren't repeating over and over again that it mostly just kills the elderly NOT because they are seen as disposable, but that it's relevant information. More specifically the immuno-compromised are threatened by the virus, they are also threatened by other flu strains.

To me it's odd that people are freaking out about this one in particular, when other viruses and types of flu have killed tens of thousands worldwide THIS SEASON:

Like i've been warning people about on here, stress compromises the immune system, so working, panicking about COVID-19, is threatening to everyone. I remember when i was in college my weed smoking and stress together triggered trench mouth. It was terrible, probably about as bad or even a little worse than the coronavirus for people with average immune systems. Luckily i got oral surgery pretty quickly so i didn't die from it like people in WWI, but yeah, the modern medical system is pretty impressive, and also immiserating. To me the fact that health care workers are often sleep deprived is a case against it.
