“We’ve had 11 Flu-related deaths here in DFW this year. Nobody seems to be panicking over that.”
Flu kills 0.1% of the infected worst case.
This virus is tracking at 3% or more. And it is far more easily transmitted. And it is stealth with a 14 day incubation.
You can take it seriously, or not. Nobody cares.
14 day incubation period is pretty stealthy.
Imagine if it wasn’t ‘discovered’ until after asia’s New Year celebrations- it’d be everywhere.
But the numbers would be much worse if everyone hadn’t already been killed off by Fukushima...
