Big difference. Millions upon millions were exposed to the regular flu. At most 10s of thousands have been exposed to COV-19.
There is simply no way to know how many have been exposed and have had mild reactions and a fast recovery.
Please. The death rate from this current virus is low.
There’s a new flu every year because viruses mutate and that’s why so many are infected. This is following exactly the same pattern. In this case it seems to be fatal mostly to older people or people with respiratory problems. For the rest, it’s a bad experience but they recover.
Sensible people get a flu vaccine because while it may not be accurate...some years the CDC has picked the wrong virus...generally it helps.
There will be a vaccine for this, but by then the disease will probably have disappeared or mutated into something else. That’s the life of a virus. Even so, I bet there are a lot of anti-vax folks on FR who would not get an anti-wuhan virus shot no matter what.
Wash your hands and stay healthy.
And millions (tens of millions?) have gotten the flu vaccinations. Plus, people have been exposed to the various influenza virus for decades.
You cannot possibly know that. The incubation time is anywheres from a day to 14 days or more and you seem to think everyone who comes in contact with this virus will die.
Last I heard all the deaths have been people mostly in their 70’s and in poor health.
