Consider the confined space of the Diamond Princess cruise ship (Japan) where the population skewed older. Cruise ships are described as "newly wed or nearly dead". (China lies- to everyone. They kept the CDC out, so without independent verification, data out of China is next to useless.)
4,061 passengers and crew
712 contracted the virus (about 17.5%)
378 showed symptoms (9.3%)
7 deaths(0.17% on the ship / 1.85% of those ill.). All of those were over 70 years old
Has anyone seen numbers tracking the Wuhan Virus vs the seasonal Flu?

1) it’s not the Wuhan virus, that’s a dog whistle name for it. Call it Covid 19, that is the real name.
2) the seasonal flue in general kills .1% of those infected. Covid 19 kills 1 present, that’s 10 times more deadly than the flue
