This is many times more contagious, lasts longer, has more significant impacts on major organ systems and is many times more fatal than the “normal” flu.
If you don’t want to believe that, it’s OK.
This thing has the potential to gum up the works for several months.
I wonder how many of the families of those kids in that Oregon school felt as you? They aren’t sick, but their lives are quite disrupted.
But, it’s probably nothing.
Yeah I see all the US casualties piling up. The Oregon kids are suffering from ACD. Adult Corona Derangement. The only disruptions are from the fear of Corona.
But somehow this has not resulted in mass hysteria:
“While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.”

Can you name the year, since 2010, that had 61,000 deaths? Did you worry the about the disrupted lives of children who did not get sick?
