nothing to worry about... except for those pesky exponentials, just like the gooberment debt.
You know that is just a cop out and comparing apples and oranges. If someone gets the enterovirus or influenza what is the death rate?
With enterovirus68 664 have been reported and they only test those who are very sick, there are 1000s of cases and 5 have died.
Between 5 and 20% of the population gets the flu every year and there are 54K deaths? And most of them don’t get hospitalized? Many, many of them are elderly or compromised individuals.
Your chances of getting Ebola in the U.S. right now are very, very low but if you get it you will require extreme medical intervention and even then you are 40 to 90% liable to die. And with the state of medical costs you will probably leave your family broke and sad if you haven’t infected them too.
I’ll take my chances with influenza or enterovirus68.
