And I would add it's a lot more contagious than the Flu.



CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2017–2018 season was high with an estimated 45 million people getting sick with influenza, 21 million people going to a health care provider, 810,000 hospitalizations, and 61,000 deaths from influenza...

That's 1 out of every 7 Americans. How much more is COVID-19?

Maybe instead of screaming how bad COVID-19 is, people should look back to see how bad flu was/is, and we never did anything about it.
