It's more serious than we suspect. There's also a lot that isn't yet known, much of which could turn out to be bad.

And there's a lot of false information being circulated. On today's Rush Limbaugh show, for instance, he made the statement that the flu has a worse mortality rate than Covid-19. That's flat-out untrue. Of those who are hospitalized, the flu kills at half the rate of Covid-19. And I'm certain that a very, very small percentage of influenza sufferers get hospitalized while a relatively high percentage of Covid-19 sufferers do. That means that the exceptionally-ill flu sufferer is being compared to the more-typical Covid-19 sufferer and still comes up short.

I've heard that, at 2%, Covid-19's mortality rate is 50 times that of the average influenza's. (The 1918 influenza was a whole different creature, btw. Its mortality rate was 20%.)

What *IS* true is that influenza kills more people than Covid-19. It's not even close. Influenza kills about 450,000 people in an average year. But then it also infects one billion people per year. This is probably the root of the "Influenza is worse" myth.

...Im just curious as to why there is so much lock down and quarantine activity around this. It's either more serious than we suspect, or it's part of a conditioning program to teach us to run home and hide under the bed when the all knowing government tells us to.
