Leadership has been focused on the politics vs the public health. The actual number of infected people is probably way more than currently known. This is going to be the biggest public health issue in 100 years or more. Link? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this will grow by leeps and bounds but what I am seeing is absolute panic by some including inflammatory posts. So do you think we exceed the 61 million infections of H1N1?

UnitedWx Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Something people seem to miss is how many die of the "regular " flu every winter, yet its mostly ignored. 18 in Connecticut the past 2 weeks have died from the flu. 100k nationwide, I seriously doubt it. And if so the same people who need to worry about the flu most need to be watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When something like this wants to spread, theres not a lot we can do til if and when theres a vaccine. The other funny thing is two doctors I work for have said that several patients who absolutely refuse to get flu shots have been beating down their doors asking when a covid vaccine will be available. Some people will always just be stupid idiots and let hype run their lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
