At the 72 day mark of 2009 H1N1 pandemic, there were already 1 million US cases. We are now at the 72 day mark of COVID19 and there are 11,500 cases. Please stop telling me that #COVID19 is spreading faster than the flu. It is not. #fearporn mythology — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sorry, but bullsh*t. #COVID19 will not be "much more than the flu." That is part of the #fearporn mythology. Unless something dramatic happens, #COVID19 will come nowhere near the infection-breadth or mortality totals of this years flu. — PolitiTweet.org

@mitchellvii Looking at how young this virus is if we ignore it then it will be much more than “the flu”

The 2020 flu has resulted in 670,000 hospitalizations. At 11,500 infections, that would put #COVID19 at 2300 assuming the 20% number is correct (which I do not believe to be the case). — PolitiTweet.org

@mitchellvii 19% of cases resulting in hospitalizations. You still sure it's "no worse than the flu"? https://t.co/zpXQQDX9Xw
