Those people who think this is not serious are just in denial ,,...
Here in the NE, it's real... I know of probably 15 people that have it, 8 are personal friends... Out of the people I know that have it 3 have died...
Comparing it to the flu is just silly, the flu has a vaccine.... That will help to squash the seriousness of the sickness.... there is no vaccine for this.... We didn't make this up,, look all over the world..
It's easy to not believe there is a problem when your not living in it...Once it hits home you will change your tune..
