The science is settled.
At least, as settled as it can be, in an area where estimation is the prescribed course.
It's just being ignored.
The number of people contracting the flu is estimated every year, as it has been for 100 years.
And that's because the impact of each year's flu, as a social health issue, isn't important enough to warrant an all-out study.
Number of people contracting Colds? .gov doesn't even bother to estimate, because colds are even lower on the danger scale, than the flu.
Mortality statistics for colds and flu are well known, and accepted as part of life.
The Coronavirus genus has been around for 60 years, and its lethality, characteristics and propensities are well known.
And it's known to be a relatively mild strain of the cold virus.
This year, is like any other year, cold-virus wise.
But somehow, this election year, with President Trump in office, science, in the sense of the known history of the cold and flu season, is being ignored.
The course of this year's corona virus is the same, or less significant, than past years of corona virus.
These circumstances are well known, and being intentionally ignored, to generate hysteria.
