This flu is not just another flu. It has the potential to cause a pandemic. This happens every 20-30 years.
If it picks up a few avian flu genes in the process it could kill a lot of people. This happens about every 100 years.
The concern is appropriate but should not the fodder of the 24 hour news cycle.
“Concern” is the key word here. Keeping a wary eye on a possible threat is wise.
But I’m seeing too many people down-right scared silly about this. Concern is healthy. Panic is not.
