The flu kills hundreds of thousands every year and nobody bats and eyelash. Coronavirus kills 40 and everyone loses their mind.

What the hell do you think people here are doing? Acting like Rudy Goebert and touching everything in site and trying to catch the virus?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cavalier attitude doesn’t cut it. And it won’t cut it.

The older one is, the less cavalier one becomes.

Making the herding of cats easier is not an undesirable motivation.

Secondly, it may be that this is merely phase 1 of what Red China will do. The jury is out on that:

That assumes most or many here aren't taking the virus seriously and taking proper precautions. I don't believe that is true.

If anything, there is way too much panic going on if the toilet paper brawls and long lines are any indication.

That’s extreme, painting everyone with that brush gives a skewed picture.

Most people already have a regime in place to cope. Those here who keep questioning what they should do should already have a plan, rather than bloviating about it as if they need to be forced into it . Civic duty calls. I remind, and will continue to do so. That’s not creating panic. Far from it.

Time to lock and load rather than rock the toad.

Go to YouTube and see the videos of Black Friday-like rushes for toilet paper. It's ridiculous.

I just went to the local Kroger. No toilet paper.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

The CDC web site lists a bit more for this season...22-55,000.

Planning to plot the historical average deaths by week for 2013-2019 and plot on a semi-log chart. Then post the weekly deaths for 19 to see how it tracks.

Oh, stop.

All pandemics burn themselves out.

This one will do so even more quickly than usual because Americans are catching on to this quickly and can’t handle the financial devastation of not being allowed to go to work.
