49,000,000 people caught the flu.
23,000,000 people visited the doctor
620,000 people hospitalized
52,000 deaths
In the chart below, notice the steep drop-off of cases? Guess what this will happen for the Coronavirus. Giving plenty of time to develop and test cures with a vaccine close behind (most think it will be less than a year because of the money and push by Government).
There were NOT 52K deaths from the flu. I read 18-21K. Trumps team (Fauci) is saying millions of Americans will be dying from This Coronavirus. The flu is not in the same league.
