More like common sense for current conditions...less than 100K world-wide cases of coronavirus with surprise start and zero vaccines....while the Flu, which has a set of vaccines, infects over 30 million Americans every year...coronaviruse has to infect 350-400 times as many folks world-wide, compared to what it already has, to catch up with the number of Americans the Flu infects each and every year - and that’s with the low-end of what the Flu infects...

Flu is endemic, Wuhan virus is not. Yet. let’s keep it that way.

Flu is a bad comparison. This is more like the cold virus. On super steroids. Spider Monkeys and Gorillas are both primates. Which would you rather be locked in a room with?

Doing nothing about this is stupid. What ever comes of this is in addition to the flu because, as stated, this is not the flu. It has a CFR of about 2% when you have all the resources of a province or state or country available to focus on it. If the medical system in any area is overwhelmed the CFR rockets to 15%. So if it becomes endemic, like the flu, and our medical system has adapted sufficiently, we will have a lot more deaths than from flu. Downplaying other people’s concerns is a disservice.
