This VIRUS is real. It's not a plot. It's not harmless. It's not the flu.

True. It is not nearly as deadly as the regular flu. The US alone loses about 10,000 per MONTH to the regular flu. We are losing about 16 per month to this virus. That's 600-to-1. Maybe we should focus less on the 1 than we usually do to the 600, no?

You might consider some perspective yourself.
