These are numbers for the US ALONE. Quote:

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released data from the second week of the 2020 influenza season. The FluView report, which includes data for the week ending January 11, 2020, indicates that influenza
activity remains high, but severity is not considered high at this point in the season.

At this point in the season, CDC estimates indicate that there have been 13 million influenza illnesses, 120,000 hospitalizations, and 6600 flu-related deaths.
The CDC notes that the number of respiratory specimens that tested positive for the flu at clinical laboratories decreased over the past week from 23.6% to 22.9%. Visits to clinicians for influenza-like illness also decreased from 5.7% last week to 4.7% this week; however,
activity for all US regions remain above baseline. In fact, 34 jurisdictions are experiencing high influenza-like illness activity.

The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza also increased from 6.0% to 6.9%, but remains below the epidemic threshold
I just checked the website set up (I will talk about that in a moment) but there are 83,704 confirmed cases with 36,654 confirmed recovery, and 2,859 deaths.

While that sounds bad and could get worse?

IT HAS NOT. CONTEXT MATTERS.
I am using the John Hopkins site. I have been told by people I normally trust that they are untrustworthy too. I have yet to see proof of that, which is why I'm pissed off. Accurate information matters but unsubstantiated accusations are worse.

2,682 of the 2,859 deaths are in Hubei Mainland China.

I have no fvcking idea if that is accurate and we only have the Chinese governments word for it. Watch this: https://twitter.com/i/status/1233346403612659712
Some of you know I have health issues. I don't prefer to dwell on myself because everyone has problems, but when you go out of your way to lie and frighten people I get MAD.

Fear will kill you faster than any disease.
One of the most important things the doctor from China said is honest information and prevention would have made a difference.

In China, they do not have a media. Well, as it turns out?

NEITHER DO WE. I want to string together every four letter word at my command.
When the Trump administration began meeting every day on the 25th of January the President determined we would halt people from coming in from China and suspect areas putting a protocol in place.

This was while the fvcking democrats were impeaching him and called it racist.
So of 60 confirmed US cases? 45 were stuck on a cruise ship and AMERICANS that were entitled to treatment because unlike EBOLA? There is no cure but there is care. They were put in quarantine, which by the way is the first time in over 50 years that has happened in this country.
The new cases in California are on top of a Air Force base that has people coming in who have been quarantined. Are we going to have more? Probably, but do most people recover? YES they do.

China is reporting the number of new cases are declining. Are they lying? Maybe.
But we had our own scientist who just met with the WHO doctors and they say they are satisfied with the DATA that they are getting.

I'm not going to play armchair scientist. The democrats and media are the worst kind of fear porn hucksters to ruin peoples lives to beat Trump.
They cause the markets to drop for 3 days not based on reality but on FEAR.

You will die of a heart attack and weaken your own immune system because of FEAR.

The media went nuts and speculated over an 83 year old Pope with a cold. That is insane.
You really need to understand they aren't trying to get rid of Trump, they want to get rid of YOU. You're not being good sheep following and doing what they say.

Ridicule these idiots. Laugh at them and mock them mercilessly. If we're going to die, I am going on MY TERMS.
Normally I give information, so if this looks like a rant it's because it is. I have been posting all the pressers by the President and administration. The media led democrats act as if it never happened.

Stone cold liars without an ounce of character.

So, what to do?
People are fallible, they make mistakes ~ don't trust anyone with important choices without verifying it.

I don't get paid to do this, I've stayed on twitter thinking I helped people by informing them, so I get angry that others are PAID to lie or are too lazy to check.
One day I won't be here any more, most of my posts are never seen because twitter decided a long time ago I'm dangerous. In a way, I am — I have no angle, I want nothing from you.

Simple things keep you healthy. When I was overwhelmed I posted this: https://twitter.com/LJT_is_me/status/1232912174688952320?s=20
President Donald J Trump does everything like a business man. He uses his entire company to get a job done and he has treated our government the same way.

EVERY AGENCY IS PUT ON THE SAME PAGE TO ACHIEVE A GOAL.

Our State department under Mike Pompeo is a perfect example.
Ask anyone who's been in the military how they get a mission done. Teamwork. Well the State department is advising people of IF it is safe to travel. If you have travel plans? Check with them FIRST.

Do sensible things now. Eat well, get plenty of rest, and wash your hands.
I am amazed at how many people buy into the nonsense they aren't smart enough to read a budget but will believe the LIARS in the media. STOP. Even the federal budget is written in small chunks and it's YOUR money. No cuts have been made. Here it is: https://twitter.com/LJT_is_me/status/1226935328340152320?s=20
Now I'll address the criticism of Vice President Mike Pence. I've not talked about him enough because he regularly gets pounded even from MAGA accounts as being either a religious freak of nature or a conspirator of some kind. Wrong. He's a man who attempts to walk his beliefs
He serves this President well because of his background. The story over him causing an AIDS outbreak in Indiana is so outrageously stupid only the likes of AOC and the Thot SQUAD she's in would buy it.

Pence was Indiana's Governor from 2013-2017. https://apnews.com/c4111b8ff9105edc7b210fc2e8c25d9b
How many of you didn't know using illegal drugs and sharing needles is dangerous?

EVERYONE knew about AIDS in 2015.

Pence made an exception in that town AND made sure everyone got treated.

Pence on coronavirus: We're ready for anything https://video.foxnews.com/v/6136713991001 
Most of you don't know Pence has put NASA back at the forefront and the Artemis space project. So for anyone to tell you he's not a man of science because he's a man of faith is an abject liar and a moron. Thot 👇

I have watched congressmen and senators who have lied their asses off to score political points. Hopefully the insanity will stop when people stop LYING.

The stock market is temporary because of worries over supply chains.
President Trump has been moving us away from dependence on China.

Do you know where we'd be if he had not begun bringing manufacturing back to the USA?

China turned around ships with masks and supplies that were to come here because they needed them.
The Chinese are putting the needs of their people first.

Now do you get #AmericaFirst? Made in the USA isn't just about jobs and better pay.

It is about survival. Step back and calm down. We have the strongest economy in the world.
So these gormless knobs that are hyping it are pathetic. Countries that did not take proactive steps to limit travel are having real problems.

Remember these are countries that eat bats, rats, cats and stray dogs. No, I'm not kidding. Don't eat weird stuff.
Put the CDC website information on your phone, or computer, familiarize yourself with the site. Everyone should have an emergency plan and have a weeks worth of supplies. Buy extra canned goods or shelf items as you shop over the next month. https://www.cdc.gov/ 
If you think democrats or the media are going to decide today (or EVER) that they'll stop their FEAR PORN MONGERING? I just listened to Xochitl Hinojosa (. @XochitlHinojosa) spew without correction on Mickey Mouse Fox News.

Destroyers. 👇 who can't count. https://twitter.com/DJMcSnarky/status/1233100290162741249?s=20
I'm not bothering with disinformation asshats any more. The US has had 1 who has been hospitalized and is very sick. The 45 cruise ship and State department people are in quarantine. Six (6) are recovered

The democrats will destroy us if we let them.
Do not give them a shovel.
Last point, those masks that were on the Chinese vessels that got turned around? Those masks aren't to protect YOU, they are to protect people from you.

After watching the democrats yesterday at ways and means committee pound Sec Azar over food stamp programs? God help us . . .
Nothing is been cut where health is involved but they are streamlining programs to get rid of the waste fraud and abuse. I gave you the budget to read for yourself.

The biggest thing you can do to save America? Work every day to get rid of every democrat in office. I'm serious.
I'm going to find the first time I said this for the record, but THIS 👇 is exactly what they are doing . . .

This is a coordinated and planned effort on the democrats part but Tim Cook of Apple is saying China is getting back on line. This is NOT the apocalypse. https://twitter.com/i/status/1233397416474370050
I said it a number of ways but I know Seth and Star will not mind if I use this to demonstrate ~ https://twitter.com/LJT_is_me/status/1232357345549856768?s=20
Addendum: because I told you so (I am going to start doing more reminders of this). I'm right and I don't get paid for it, is that the secret to people listening?
