    You can call it the Chinese Virus. If someone tells you that is racist, call them a stupid m-f'er.

    .02 is twice the rate.

    1000 people at .02 is 20. At .01 it's 10.

    Yes... They are two different viruses even when both are RNA viruses. I hope and pray, SARS-CoV-2 will not remain circulating as Influenza does!

    So it’s slightly worse than flu
    .2 is very tiny and it’s less when you factor in the fake deaths and nursing homes
