I think Bill posted here that he had heard someone say
that the coronavirus is 10 times more lethal than the
flu.

Bill said he had heard that but couldn't remember who said
it.

It was said today by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head honcho of the
federal team monitoring the virus during a hearing before
the House Oversight and Reform Comittee. Dr. Fauci said,

“I mean people always say, 'Well, the flu does this, the flu does that,'”

“The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate
of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay
ahead of the game in preventing this,” he added.

Certainly sounds ominous.

Old sick people should be cleaning up their affairs.
Short SW Florida housing if you have any money in it.
29% of Lee County is over 65 and most own their home.
I think there are going to be a lot of old houses on the market if
this is as bad as they say it is.

Or not ;-)
