For me, I’m glad a disease is reminding us about cleanliness and prevention etc, and this is a new disease without a vaccine that is deadly etc., so I’m not saying we’re overreacting.

But I am disappointed that the news has blown this up and not all the other diseases that hit this year that were way more deadly (so far) death count wise. Like, at least mention this other stuff.

If my sources are correct, we are at about 5,400 global deaths to Coronavirus, which is sad and horrible and should be something we know about.

So why didn’t the news say anything about the 22,000-55,000 deaths in the United States alone that died to the flu?. I didn’t know about this number until my father in law (who is a doctor) commented on how the presence of a vaccine really does impact people’s level of panic.
