CoronaVirus

FL 4Motion

The Spanish flu was so deadly/bad bc it seemed to affect young healthy people worse than older people who “normally” are the ones more susceptible to the flu, also 1918 health care vs today is different.

This corona virus seems to be more like a traditional infectious disease such as seasonal flu where the elderly and those with preexisting conditions are most susceptible/ at risk of serious complications and death.

The mortality rate is around 2% but perhaps lower since a whole lot of people have most likely been infected but recovered, never were tested and only had mild to moderate symptoms aka seemed like a cold or regular flu.

It’s a serious health issue but all this panic is unwarranted and overblown. Take reasonable precautions and be smart about going in public spaces and if sick, stay home but this ain’t the Spanish flu or the bubonic plague, or Ebola.

Now if it mutates and becomes more deadly....but hopefully that doesn’t happen.
