Do we have to go through this again?

We have a vaccine for the flu. We have nothing but protection and distancing for this.

The responsible media reports what the medical profession says, they don't make up stuff to scare people any more than they cause toilet paper hoarding. I don't know where this idea comes from, unless it's just an offshoot of the ever-popular conspiracy of 'fake news.'

Perhaps Fox is more to your liking who continually downplay, ridicule and lie about it with their so-called 'doctors.'

2017 to 2018 the flu killed about 65,000 Americans but yet no lock down than..

Some older people just cant handle a bad flu or the Covid-19.

Open America back up...

Did 14,000 of them die in one week?

I'm sorry the RV Doctor died, though, I didn't know of him until this thread.

Covid-19 is just another flu, just my opinion. However, I'm not going to cower in my home like it's the global boogy-man, there's plenty of sky-is-falling types for that. Did anyone here know that the 2018-2019 influenza season killed 34,200 people in the USA? Were you hiding in your homes behind a face mask during that time or did you not even know about it?

How about H1N1 Swine Flu in 2009? 60 million cases in the USA, 12,469 deaths. Anybody here wear a face mask back then? Any businesses closed? We were bombarded with social distancing? Any campgrounds close? Was it all over the news? Was President Obama being attacked?

I'm sorry that anyone has died from Covid-19 but there have been just as many people dying every year from the regular flu but that doesn't have people running in a panic. Why is that? Why is this flu bug is being over-hyped by the media?

Probably not the most appropriate place to get in a dig at others. A little consideration maybe?

I've seen plenty of them. They get the Darwin award.

He looked to be about 70 with a large gut. If you're in your 70s with a large gut you should be very afraid, but that's not society's fault, is it. If you're in good health it looks like you have better than a 99% chance of NOT dying if you contract the virus and you may not even know you have it. Obesity and diabetes are a REAL problem.

And to think that some people don't think this is a real problem.

Oh my.....
How sad.. :(
Such a tragic loss.

Very sorry to hear this news.
