I received an email from a friend who’s in pediatrics. Evidently she’s getting a lot of calls/emails...so she put out the facts and reminded everyone it’s a flu, and do the same things you always do during flu season. Her last line was sarcastic. “So keep your kids in a bubble and try not to breathe too much.”
Another doctor friend whose practice is mostly elderly people said the phone is ringing off the hook. All the hoopla has scared the older folks to death and they’re wanting to be seen for ordinary colds, etc. He thinks it’s irresponsible how the media/CDC/WHO is playing this up considering we have tens of thousands of deaths every year from flu, and they never make a big deal of that.
