Coronavirus:

Yesterday it was 3,708 deaths. It's already 4,341 today. 2 weeks ago it was just 817 deaths. Want to guess what it's going to be 2 weeks from now?

And that's with the world trying to fight it. Imagine how many would be dying if we didn't take action.

The seasonal flu killed 40,000 in the US last year. That's an average of 109.58 per day. The coronavirus killed over 700 in the US today so far.

Downplaying it, contrasting it, distracting from it...that's going to get a lot more people killed.

Ah no sweat, over 50 million people a year die of old age, this is nothing :p

Terrorism and Natural disasters are at the bottom, 0.05% and 0.02% of total yearly deaths, yet get the most attention!

Traffic deaths are actually 3700 a day globally, and covid19 is now beating that. That's 1.35 million traffic deaths a year! For the US traffic deaths are on par with the flu, but covid19 is almost 7x worse already, and it's still in the beginning phase. The big difference with dangerous driving is that you at most kill one or two other drivers. Being irresponsible with the spread of this virus, and you could be (partly) responsible for thousands of deaths.
