2360 : Corona virus
69602 : Common cold
140 584 : Malaria

193,479 : road accidents
240,950 : HIV loss
358,471 : alcohol
716,498 : smoking

Then do you think Corona is dangerous?

Or
is the purpose of the media campaign to settle the trade war between China and America
or
to reduce financial markets to prepare the stage of financial markets for mergers and acquisitions
or
to sell US Treasury bonds to cover the fiscal deficit in them
Or
Is it a Panic created by Pharma companies to sell their products like sanitizer, masks, medicine etc.

Do not Panic & don't spread Rumours.
Edit: Forwarded message; not verified by me.
the problem with corona is its new and all those which you had compared it with are since beyond 100 years...... if this cov19 even survives for 3 years then people which spread messages like cov19 is noting will be no more in this world.

those other diseases dont spread at the rate at which this noval corona is spreading.

if you see the time since humans get tested positive by cov19 and its death is mostly short and depends on ones immunity.

current corona cases 145,993 and deaths are at 5,440
(note china had excluded all the cases which were home quarantine when their hospital beds and quarantine centers were full during jan and feb 2020)

isnt its a great shame on india health system that its still struggling with swine flu after so many years ???
do you really feel cov19 is less dangerous from swine flu and india will be able to stop corona more easily then swine flu ?

The problem not mentioned here is the numbers of infections from Corona Virus rapidly goes up, as it is highly contagious. This brings more death with it by itself and if not is done what is done now, even slowly, the statistic shown here will look very different in a few weeks as the dead toll for Corona will have exploded.

In the past It was thought, because of the existing numbers, younger people would not have much of a problem with the virus if infected. The true is: This was a wrong assumption. More and more, even younger people with very strong symptoms, are found in emergencies/isolation rooms in hospitals around Europe.

Now who profits most from the situation: Of course the pharma industries. Following an interesting read about it:

Big Pharma Prepares to Profit From the Coronavirus

As the new coronavirus spreads illness, death, and catastrophe around the world, virtually no economic sector has been spared from harm. Yet amid the mayhem from the global pandemic, one industry is not only surviving, it is profiting handsomely.

“Pharmaceutical companies view Covid-19 as a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity,” said Gerald Posner, author of “Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America.” The world needs pharmaceutical products, of course. For the new coronavirus outbreak, in particular, we need treatments and vaccines and, in the U.S., tests. Dozens of companies are now vying to make them.

“They’re all in that race,” said Posner, who described the potential payoffs for winning the race as huge. The global crisis “will potentially be a blockbuster for the industry in terms of sales and profits,” he said, adding that “the worse the pandemic gets, the higher their eventual profit.”
