So what's really going on here?

The coronavirus hysteria shows us the power of the medical establishment. 6,000 deaths and they are shutting down the world. Meanwhile, 1.2 million die a year in car accidents and they don't shut down the roads.

The mortality rate for the flu is .1% of people who get the flu This means around 24,000 people in Israel get the flu each year. So we have shut down the country when 500 people have developed this virus over three months when its numbers pale next to those of the flu. There are no reported fatalities from the coronavirus in Israel. 2 people are in serious condition.
So what's really going on here? Now the fatality rate appears higher here. 6,000 deaths from 200,000 people worldwide. That's 3% which is much higher. But is it enough to shut down the world? Every year about half a billion people get the flu. Some more interesting info. Each year about two dozen children die from the flu in the USA. From the CDC: The overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the 2017-2018 flu vaccine against both influenza A and B viruses is estimated to be 40%.
