There have been 16,000 people in the US die from flu this 2019-2020 flu season. 280,000 had to go to the hospital.

Do 16,000 more people have to die before people start taking it serious?
Due to the effectiveness of this 2019-2020 flu season vaccine, 45%, the 16,000 means likely 17-18,000 people did not die because of the vaccine.
By the reasoning that it is just like the flu, is 33,000 deaths in the US, over a half-million people in the hospital - and acceptable number.
Do we need more deaths and hospitalizations than that before sensible precautions is needed?
(Note - Sensible precautions - panic buying and such are not sensible. Closures and such are. We are full-timers. We've already been hit with having to change plans, higher costs and such. We do not have the option of going home and waiting it out.)
