Slacker...the following info should help put/keep this current flu in perspective. Dont have the link but google "CDC flu mortality rate". A table with historical data should be easy to find. An example number from 2017-2018 season...estimated mortality from flu, 61,000.

The mortality rate is unknown other than from those hospitalized not from asymptomatic or minor cases since those don’t get reported. It is generally not life threatening unless there is a predisposed condition.
The spread is rapid however that’s not the point. We have vaccines and treatment coming versus the flu which kills many and we have treatments. There is no panic even to the point that vaccines are ignored by the majority. Why is this causing any panic if it’s not political. If the coronavirus was in China as of November last year why was there no cases until now. It would’ve been in the country two months ago. Fact is they are making it political which is destroying our stock and they are wrong medically
