@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I think the issue people are having is that now we have flu and Coronavirus going around at the same time causing more annoyance. Plus it turns into pneumonia which is pretty annoying to have as well; albeit not really any problem in the USA considering we can cure that no problem.

to date, corona virus has killed about 3,000. If you take into consideration all age ranges/all those exposed to it and measure it against those killed by it, the mortality rate is only about 1%.

In roughly the same amount of time since corona was first reported, influenza has killed between 10,000 - 20,000 world wide...
