We have had annual flu deaths in the 80,000 range, so this is twice as band as a bad flu, not the end of the world.

It isn't even as bad as the worst flu years.

Adjusted for population growth, the 1918, 1957/1958 or 1968 flu pandemics killed more.

(This is the 3rd time that Boomers have been through this!)

You’re right, but the DemComs can’t do arithmetic, so it’s all frightening to them.

A generation of mice, scurrying around to avoid something that isn’t a significant threat.

And the measles were way worse. Did that twice in my life, ‘64 and ‘68. No fun. At all.
