    CNN admits massively overestimated Covid 19

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYPM6wQQ_js

    Walking back the numbers of fatality rate;
     They shut down the world over this.

    I checked figures:
    COVID-19: Approx. 150,948 deaths reported worldwide; 36,118 deaths in U.S., as of Apr. 17, 2020.*

    Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.


    The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, people do not have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working on estimating the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be higher than that of most strains of the flu.


    *This information comes from the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases map developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

    Ummm.. you *DO* realize that the reason this has not been the worst case scenario of early predictions is exactly because they have shut down the world over this?

    Do you have friends/family in New York/New Jersey? New Orleans? Italy? France? I do...and this isn't a joke.

    Are you seriously saying that because many governors, mayors, county officials, world leaders have taken extreme steps to curb this outbreak that the fact that the worst case scenarios have, in some cases, been avoided means this Wass all BS?

    Sad....

    David, point taken.
    Been mulling Neil Ferguson's original estimate of 500,000 deaths and the updates/"confusion" around that
