Factbox - How we die: coronavirus in perspectiveAs the new coronavirus spreads and worldwide deaths linked to it top 3,400, glob... FYI realDonaldTrump VP coronavirus What a bs. You could have told the same story when the first thousand people did die from the Spanish flue, which eventually killed millions. If a mortality rate of 3-4% (like in Italy) spreads further worldwide, potentially millions could get killed. Knock it off with all the doom and gloom.
