Why aren't you afraid of the Flu?
It's clearly worse, especially the dreaded avian strains which can reach over 50% death rates in undeveloped regions.
Here's an article addressing your concerns:
Comparing CoV to the Flu
In the U.S. alone, the flu has already caused an estimated 26 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

None of the headlines in my feed are downplaying this, it's all hysteria and misinformation.
Update example from hours ago:
Panic in Oregon over Cold virus causing school closure
I am confident in my assessment that this was all a serious overreaction.
This is based entirely upon over 20 years of microbiology and biochemistry research. This specific virus everyone is freaked out about is essentially causing a "Cold".
The very fact that no one is addressing this honestly is cause for major concern. It indicates to me that we are facing 90%+ complete misinformation and it even appears by design. This panic and resulting disastrous failed quarantine was probably a test and the media purposely promoted the hysteria.
The only way I can envision anyone freaking out about "dangers from the coronavirus" itself is that they simply don't investigate scholarly documentation from the world's best medical sources. Being afraid of the cold is like being afraid of dihydrogen monoxide because you don't know that it's water as I used fancy terminology to mislead.
The only real danger here is panic and foolish ineffective quarantines that justify violating human rights and destroy the economy.
Anyways, I'm not going to post in this thread anymore because my challenges are considered off topic or whatever reason and I'm going to get in trouble if I keep posting here. Plus I don't have time to go through all of this again, Im in a time crunch and must stay focused on finishing documents I'm creating for something totally unrelated.
I only posted the article above to stay "on topic" with the fear mongering agenda this whole topic represents.
Plus I don't care if anyone hates me for telling the truth. When the dust settles they'll change their tune and not hate me irrationally anymore.
On 17 January my muscles became sore all over. I may have had a slight fever, but it wasn’t strong enough to notice. Looking back, it is a little scary, because my house and the language school where I study Japanese are within a 5km radius of the Wuhan seafood market (where the virus is believed to have originated). To treat my muscle soreness, I took some cold tablets because I thought it was a normal cold. Now that I think of it, I might have missed the best time for treatment, failing to contain the virus with antiviral drugs in its early stages.
I have no idea how I got the virus. I always eat at the same Hong Kong-style restaurant below my school. I wasn’t walking around much at the time because it was very cold, and since I was tired after classes I always went back home. Once the semester break started, I stayed with my parents and not at the dormitory. I started wearing a mask a few days later when I saw everyone else around me wearing masks.

Thank you

Although natural tobacco strains are known to provide many medicinal properties I want to express to you the frivolity of the entire premise.
All you need is a decent diet, rest, and water to beat this disease and most other diseases.
If you want a straight up cure that will defeat any disease causing bacteria or virus than raw bee's honey is the most powerful agent known to science. It's not profitable so they don't promote it but there are hundreds of experiments from the world's top universities proving this fact over and over. It beats everything from antibiotic resistant bacteria to actually beating HIV in less than 3 months.
This information will be common knowledge in 2050 but I'm giving it to you now so you can live worry free from most diseases. If you don't believe it that's ok, I will help you research and can explain any literature you need an assistant with.
The tobacco remedy might be plausible, tobacco is medicinal, but it is unnecessary if you have the champ (raw honey).
Honey from the store is usually loaded with HFCS so avoid it. Aim for manuka honey if you want the best available currently but theoretically any raw honey straight from the apiary should prove effective.
A flu outbreak sickened 82 people aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship that returned to Baltimore last week, prompting the cruise line to isolate them and notify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but none of the sick passengers and crew met the criteria for the coronavirus, a Royal Carribean spokeswoman confirmed Friday. None of the passengers had transited the COVID-19′s regions of impact or interacted with anyone in those regions within 14 days of the onset of their symptoms, spokeswoman Melissa Charbonneau said.
“An elevated number of guests and crew had flu-like illness or tested positive for influenza A or B and were placed in isolation, according to medical protocol," Charbonneau said in an emailed statement. “The CDC did not request coronavirus tests for any of the cases.” The CDC did not respond to a request for comment late Friday afternoon.

Apparently Londons Hyde Park would be used as a morgue if this virus begins killing people. Not sure if this is fear mongering but a bit odd to have this as one of your headlines!
It's as if some people are expecting many deaths and know this is a lot worse than we are being told or they expect over70's to fill most of that quota
www.dailymail.co.uk...
Hyde Park would be turned into a morgue if the killer coronavirus outbreak escalates in the UK, under worst-case scenario plans.
Nickie Aiken, Conservative MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, confirmed the royal park has emergency plans in place to store human corpses.
The Government has an array of procedures in case of a crisis on British soil, which could include the coronavirus if it spreads in the UK.
