America will never be the same again. 17,000 died from H1N1 in 2009-2010. 26,500 dead so far this year from influenza. Until Wuhan Flu, we didn't care aboout those deaths. That is changed.

It will now be standard to practice social distancing to prevent ALL viral outbreaks from killing people, not just Wuhan Flu.

Prepare yourselves for this new reality, and invest appropriately as well. Tech and remote companies will profit handsomely. Travel and leisure companies will become seasonal money-makers only, as fear and public pressure will keep customers away during "virus time."

(that is, if we still have a free market and economy in the future)

New study just out, 1,000 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and only 1 death. Treatment must begin early before being in need of a ventaltor. The study in NY is waiting until a long time on a ventilator and using it as last resort. If true, the study is purposely designed to fail.

The United States has the power to end this pandemic and termoil in our economy today. President Trump MUST use his emergency powers to enable pat3to demand this treatment if they sign a waiver.

Interesting comment. Might be like our approach to military campaigns. No one likes death. But once upon a time, we would open a campaign like the Normandy Landings and we’d lose a few thousand the first day and we would push on and we would win. But after Bush’s “quagmire” in the Middle East, the media knows it can stop any military campaign but telling America that in the course of the current war, our total body count is now approaching 3000 or whatever, and everyone panics and demands that the war stop.

A flu season in which over 10,000 people die??????? We better shutdown the economy. Every year.

Your what do we do next flu season question is one I have been thinking about and trying to get thoughts on from others. Next flu season starts in what? 9 or 10 months. This current Covid reaction could easily be “justified” if it is a “bad” normal flu where they don’t get the vaccine right.
