I agree. How do you think they should handle it next time?
“I agree. How do you think they should handle it next time?”
The truth is many people were going to make a lot of money off this scare. This is why they kept pushing it as “we are all going to die.”
This was what this whole thing was about...Period.
Thanks for the note of agreement and the question Abigail. I apologize for taking so long to respond. I actually wanted to think about my response.
I believe this outbreak of influenza should have been handled like any other outbreak of influenza. The facts should have been derived before the melt-down, not after.
There have been three pandemics since 1918. “THREE” Every year we have an influenza season. And every year we lose approximately 36,000 people in our nation alone (according to the CDC spokesperson on Friday) to the particular influenza strain of that year. Every year the influenza spreads across national boundaries. And every year... oh wait, no... hardly ever are these termed pandemics. None the less we now stand on level five of six, at the WHO. And only now are we beginning to realize we’ve been had.
And yet, some folks are ‘upset’ that these facts are being pointed out, and that some people are asking for people to return to reason.
A pandemic this is not. One thing can be learned from it though. That is HOW NOT to react to an influenza outbreak.
Cooler heads should have prevailed.
