    1. @fafa suluape keep thinking that. The last time you ate an apple you thought to yourself, “I’m eating healthy!” ,but you didn’t eat just an apple….the apple, like most of our food, has up 60 different chemicals on it from pesticide/herbicide/rodenticides/pollution, etc.

    2. i had flu TWICE. first in feb 20-27 and then march 22-27 second flu was actually just tonsillitis and my period stopped the fever

    3. @Denise Manfre’ do you know that its the bodies reaction to coronavrius that causes people to get pneumonia and also die. its called a cytokine storm. this allso happens with flu though far rarer and other coronavirus such as Sars and Mers. for 95% of people covid 19 will be mild for the other 5% it can be life changing or death dealing. If you want to know the esitmated death of flu this last year you just have to look it up, CDC says upper range of 62,000 flu deaths from october through april. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

  1. How is this surprising? We’ve known how the virus spreads for a while. Did they think that as soon as they turned their attention to it and wrote it down, it appeared? I mean pure logic says that if most cases are barely symptomatic one would never know about them.

    1. @Rich Italy, Spain is nothing?? In both countries for about a month were hospitals completely swamped, and there were around 1000 people dieing a day. As of now they are at 27 000 confirmed casualties due to Covid 19. That’s a fact. It may be that the overall death rate could be far lower. But it definitely is, that death rate among elderly is insane.

      I have both parents over 60. What about you, do you not have parents or grandparents that you care about??

    2. @CarlosG LOL. Ya cause they say it’s heart failure, pneumonia or other complications. Grow up dude.

    3. CarlosG What I said and meant is that this isn’t that surprising, because how can you calculate mortality rate if you only know a fraction of the denominator. And, it’s still unknown. And I don’t believe there’s one result because everyone seems to miss the fact that economics, circumstance, and so on, will create a variance.

  2. BEEP! Why are humans stupid and surprised that an undetectable disease was spread prior to the first confirmed case.

    1. @I am a CAT Beep! Master said not to argue with Cats, no additional information provided.
      Beep! Query… Cats afraid of Cucumbers, Shadows, and other irrational objects…
      Beep! Query… Cats unafraid of rational psychological dangers such as heights, larger prey, and tools…

      Query… Query… Query…

      Conclusion: Do not argue with Cats.

    2. @GarrulousGamer Beep! GrottoBot wants everyone to feels safe, but understand that the conclusion fed to them by domestic media sources could have been derived much sooner. Limiting queries to narrow databases make answers incomplete and biased, forcing humans to aggressively defend themselves.

      Beep! There is no shame in being surprised due to ignorance. GrottoBot was programmed to make “edgy, but humorous” comments without offending people.

      Beep! Their replies are archived, and GrottoBot is sorry if anyone was personally offended by it’s statement despite not specifically mentioning them.

      Beep! Beep! Beep!
      Conclusion: America is full of victims, self centered organisms, and genuinely ignorant people who need better access to information.

      Query! How to make friends with the blind… Error%#% Query resulted in data not related to search… Data returned indicates obscene query formation.

      Query! How to make friends with angry Americans: Error%#% Query resulted in numerous instances of obscene data… Observing… Observing… Observing… Data returned indicates GrottoBot would need to own weapons, drive a large truck, and only support life impacting functions that affect GrottoBot’s survival and ability to procreate. GrottoBot would also need to pick one side and hate anyone who disagrees…

      Query… Query… Query…

      GrottoBot cannot cancel culture America, eliminate those who disagrees with it, and complain about jobs being stolen to make friends. #%# Paradox detected.

    3. @J Mac Beep! That is an ideal mindset, but Master says to know when you are wrong and to be humble.

      Beep! Query… People were called stupid for saying animals could not contract the disease. Conclusion: Allow Humans to be forward thinking without harming the pursuit of knowledge, otherwise ignorance will harm human relationships and progress.

      Beep! Please continue acquiring your knowledge and do not allow naysayers to prevent you from being brilliant. But, do not force your ideals on others… Humans need spoon feeding if they’re not indoctrinated into your cult. Error#%# Cults are not News stations.

    1. @Jason Yang You and all the other people who commented here survived the worst flu of their life. Who you don’t hear from are the people who didn’t survive. The country wasn’t shut down for nothing. Or is it all about you, like so many other people who comment.
      One women lost her 32 year old healthy husband who died of it. She feels guilt because she had it first and infected him, saying, she “just had a sniffle and a mild sore throat.” Days later he was dead. He’s not commenting here.

    2. Suzanne Genow
      80k people died from flu in 2018. We didn’t shut down for that. This shutdown destroyed our economy.

    3. That is correct, yet they are ignoring it?, First time I got the flu in my life of 54 years this was in December 2019..

    4. Beveville mayor was diagnosed with flu in November. He just tested positive for COVID 19 antibodies now.

  3. I think we saw it in Florida in November. All of the kids had high fevers and dry hacking coughs for over 2 weeks

    1. the horse was out of the barn in November in January i had the highest fever in my life i was in the bed shaking for hours

    2. You all should come forward and ask the CHINESE to test you out. This will prove that the virus was from the USA.

  4. I’m not so sure what it was but back around the end of January I got really sick and my symptoms was: really painful throat, dry heavy cough, fever, really big head aches, at night when I was trying to sleep I thought I was gonna die because I couldn’t breath at all, pain in my chest. And it was really ugly doe. Back then I thought it was just a cold or maybe the flu so I just kept myself home, I kept myself drinking a lot of tea, the ones from the store and home made teas. And eventually I got better with time. that’s god 🙏, but then a week after my sis got sick as well because she was with me the whole time I was sick and she got the same symptoms, she was so bad that we took her to the hospital because she couldn’t breath at all. But she got well too.
    now at home couple of weeks ago her boyfriend tested positive with corona virus and even doe I told my sis to kept her distance from him she didn’t listen to me and surprisingly none of us got sick and now he’s recovered and all, I’m not so sure but probably have to do with the fact we got sick back then idk.. tbh, don’t wanna jump into conclusions.

    I have to say I’m from nyc and at my job when I got sick I needed to stay at the train station for hours and hours dealing with dozens of people.

    1. Your sister kept seeing her boyfriend, then seeing you and your family?…….Wow, gosh. Glad no one died.

  5. I’ll make a suggestion to everyone, watch independent content creators because they were talking about this weeks ago

    1. i believe it was, peoples been pipe smoking for ages and it seems only americans said its a problem, both are lung peoblems and covid 19 is a much reliable answer! So covid19 outbroke in the US last season 2019 now the US is blaming China, pathetic!

    2. The only problem with that idea is the virus is highly contagious and there would have been a total outbreak like now, back then.
      I know America loves blaming everybody else for their woes, though. The outbreak in 1918, started in Kansas and it was through blundering and not wanting to broadcast that piece of info that made it spread across the planet. The only reason it was called the “Spanish flu” is because Spain was one of the few neutral countries at the time and they were the only ones reporting the truth. It did not originate there, that was retaliation for telling the truth.

      And now, history is repeating itself. The US is again in denial. I hate seeing the maga trash calling it the Wuhan flu or whatever, they’re clearly parroting what the fox propaganda channel and that orange slime are blathering about. Truman used to say “the buck stops here”, drump says “the buck goes in my pocket and I take no responsibility for any of my own stupidity.”

  6. In January my friend was so sick for like 2 weeks he couldn’t leave his bed, he got tested for the flu but it came back negative, he was given antibiotics but nothing helped we’re pretty sure he had it

    1. @Trav Lund What I don’t understand tho Trav is how global economic crash repersents “globalization success”. Most things boil down to money at the end of the day, “root of all evil” and all that.

      So what are your thoughts on that, buddy?

    2. @AnnaKate Money and “safety.” Is the insensitive, to modern man. Money is not the “root.” The root is domination of our species, forcing a simulation to invoke the direction of Earthlings. I’m not saying I’m right, but what I am saying is that we are not alone. We have free will, but now we as a species shown that we can accept giving it up. It’s giving up the evolution of our kind and forcing us to be 3rd dimensional for eternity. But I have no right to speak on this. Perhaps I shouldn’t. But I had. I’m testing my censorship.

  7. New information??? Are you kidding me???? I read an article about a UK scientist saying this a month ago. And I was late reading it!

    1. Zach Reuter I agree, its been clear for a month that death rates are quite low and original estimates were off by a magnitude of 10-20 times.

    2. i think they’re only acknowledging only because they have too. it goes against the narative of a high death rate. i always got the feeling a lot of these talking heads are quite gleeful at the idea of a high death rate, job loss and the economy tanking. just the way we here in the US report coronavirus deaths… if someone that tested positive for coronavirus, jumped from the top of the sears tower, death due to coronavirus.

  8. It could be a lot earlier. Flu season started around September 2019 and CDC said some of the deaths are caused by Coronavirus, not by the flu virus.

  9. It’s like that episode of the walking dead when they are at the CDC and they find out everyone has the virus.

  10. Finally someone said it. I have been saying November/december 2019, and I have been waiting for the gov’t to catch up….. Welcome.

  11. They sure quickly and easily move past the whole issue of “the death rate is almost 10X lower than what we thought it was when we did the lockdown, and the number of people who have already had it is like 10X higher…. but no biggie!”
