I guess I am the type as well, for the facts are at this point in time the flu id still a deadlier virus by a factor or 10 to 20 to 1. Never said that that couldn't change. Only time will tell who is right and who is wrong. Either way, they are both deadly. Just because the cases are increasing in big numbers, is because testing has finally started.

Deaths currently reported are 13,068 or 13,072 depending on the site you look at, worldwide. The CDC estimates flu deaths in just this country are between 23,000 - 59,000 in the 2019-2020 flu season. In the United States, the flu season is considered October through May.

Actually, this demonstrates how little we knew about the Wuhan Virus in the first months. China did not share much and it can spread faster and be more deadly than the seasonal flu.

Trump eliminated some of the overlapping bureaucracy and department infighting that takes place during these times.

Trump engaged the private sector and we have a very rapid response for something we knew nothing about 90 days ago.

Folks should google their home states for flu deaths during the 2018-19 flu season and 2017-18. They’ll be surprised how many there were......

Don’t like him but he’s right more are dead from the flu.
It all appears to be more of a test to see how much panic can be made for people who don’t think but react to the media.
