That is a 3.7% mortality rate for Corona Virus
versus
0.039 % for the flu
about 100 times different
your numbers - perhaps it is a significant difference?

I am not advocating hoarding toilet paper but ignoring the problem also seems a little short sighted.
I am still working and have no plans to change that but perhaps skipping a baseball or basketball game or opera for a little while might be a reasonable Ideancmickey, mitrucker, SAR and 1 other person Thank this. -
Lonesome, stuckinthemud, dynamite and 1 other person Thank this.

the total population is not relevant or the untested
Population.
All pointed was based on the numbers the OP posted and why 3.7 might be worth acting with some concern versus the Flu at 0.04% -
Spoke to one of our few remaining O/O's yesterday. He said that while he was talking to one of Wylie's long term drivers (who is retiring soon), he said that the goal is to eliminate all of Moore's double drop trailers with the regular tarps. When he asked why, apparently the scuttlebutt is, it's because it's too much work for the drivers...yes, you read that right, a flatbed carrier is getting rid of manual tarps because it too much work. So, I guess when they say Wylie tough...you don't have to be that tough to work at Wylie. At Moore, we have to be Chuck Norris or Sly Stallone tough...at Wylie you have to be Peewee Herman or Sponge Bob tough. It's almost embarrassing to be called a Wylie driver the way it's going.
Itsbrokeagain, TokyoJoe, runningman0661 and 2 others Thank this. -
I always thought Wylie tough meant not complaining when something was shoved up your backside.
Itsbrokeagain, Winnyf1 and Lonesome Thank this. -

My home state of FL is giving in and shutting down crap because of the Corona hype. All public schools, colleges, state/city sponsored gatherings (including things like farmers markets) and sporting events closed until the end of the month. Which would have hurt my wife until she spoke to her boss about it, and they decided to pay her normal weekly paycheck as if she was working a normal schedule.
Lonesome, Bumper, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
