True. I had a meeting about 3 weeks ago with a county official who said he was tired of hearing about it and that it's no worse than the flu... I knew we were in trouble then. It may not be the plauge that we saw 100 years ago, but it definitely aint the seasonal flu.

They're literally all saying this is not the flu. In severe cases you'll be stable then deteriorate quickly, in a matter of hours, ending up with septic shock and organ failure.
At the same time, out of every 100,000 people that get the flu, 61 go to the hospital. Do you think this is going along at the same rate? Are you seeing hospitals be overwhelmed every winter with flu patients?
There is no both sides to this thing. The facts are out there. There is a ton we don't know but there are clearly things going on we can see that are not normal. People have the freedom to ignore all that though to listen to some dude you went to high school with on Facebook.

I personally agree. I guess my curiosity is from this thread and the multiple users downplaying the severity. And of course, a few of the articles or quotes from MD's and Biologist that agree with their stance as well.
Interesting times we live in for sure...
