Reality
The flu remains a higher threat to U.S. public health than the new coronavirus.
This flu season alone has sickened at least 19 million across the U.S. and led to 10,000 deaths and 180,000 hospitalizations.
Roughly a dozen cases of the deadly coronavirus have been identified in the U.S., though the number has mushroomed across its outbreak zone in China.
I am not saying it will not get worse but so far more anguish and upset has been caused by news agencies causing panic and over exaggeration, even the BBC. Now we have panic buying of food (storing) and any and all sanitizers even though most are 100% useless because they do not have at least 65-70% alcohol. Ordinary hand sanitizers, cloths, wipes are ineffective against a VIRUS, truth... a bottle of alcohol from an off licence with 60%+ proof is better and 100% more effective than a any cloth that says 99.999% effective against bacteria. Covis 19 is NOT a bacteria
