The current number of cases in the U.S. is 478. A week ago it was 57.
Those numbers are small. You can look at them and maybe convince yourself that there is nothing to worry about.
But the number of cases went up by a factor of about 8. If that growth continues then we will be approaching 4000 a week from today.
In the meantime hundreds have died of the flu. Last I read the average age of death in Italy was 81. So, yeah, unless you have preexisting conditions or are elder there is nothing to worry about. Sorry.
Actually thousands have already died of the flu this year. But think how many flu infection there have been this season.
A million?
2 million?
I didn’t look it it up. But you are making an unproven assumption that the number of infects in the U.S., for example, will never get that high.
You could be right but at this point NOBODY KNOWS HOW HIGH THE NUMBER OF CASES WILL GROW TO. The experts don’t know. I don’t know but past history says it could easily be in the millions.
