One thing that is causing MORE worries about this new virus among professionals, and us ‘regular folk’ as well are some of the vague similarities with this virus and the 1918 Spanish Flu.
MOST regular flu viruses don’t cause the “Cytokine Storm” reaction in healthy adults “in their prime”. This one appears to do so — and that is what made the 1918 Spanish Flu so deadly, and why it killed healthy adults in great numbers vs. children, and the elderly.
So, Jonny — you are right that regular flu CAN kill people in the prime of life. But, it would appear that THIS virus (similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu) causes this reaction much more readily than “regular flu”.
One must also consider that the genetic markers of this flu and the combination of the strains. Again, this makes it much different than a “regular flu”.
As for the MSM — of course our media, especially due to their horrible lack of accuracy and competency to begin with is going to ‘sensationalize’ ANYTHING. But, the CDC and the WHO don’t just go around making Pandemic warnings for the ‘fun’ of it. Usually the CDC is the one basically telling the reporters to “stop panicking people” and “this isn’t a big deal”.
Not for long.
