This is the attitude I'd expect in our expert loathing era.
Trump calling the WTO stats false then calling it the flu pretty much nails it.

There's no excuse for calling it corona flu but, in the massively inarticulate way the gibbering fucknugget talks, he was actually vaguely right in trying to correct the news channel on their clickbait reporting of a "3.4% mortality rate" in the same way that the 3.4% rate has been discussed in this thread. The actual mortality rate will be quite a bit lower than this as there are many many mild cases that haven't (and won't) be identified.
Also saying it was fine to go to work with 'conona flu' is a fucking stupid thing to say too.

Turns out the person hasn't tested positive, but HAS returned from Northern Italy and has a "cold" but not bothered self-isolating or getting tested. Now my wife's friend has a "cold" as well but also has no interest in self-isolation or getting tested, and my wife intends to have lunch with her this weekend (I have seen the text messages along the lines of "I'm not letting Corona tell me what to do")
