You should be more worried about the regular old flu. 1 person dead from coronavirus & y’all wanna panic yet over 10,000 people have died since the start of 2020 from the flu & no one bats an eye. Really? 😂 but yeah, let’s freak out about who this woman infected when people all over are infecting each other with a simple flu that we have a vaccine for.

Your ignorance is so dangerous. The reason why seasonal flu is no longer a pandemic is because it already was in 1918, when it killed 40 million people. The virus has co-evolved with humans for 100 years, and yes it still kills tens of thousands of people annually, but these are already sick people annually. It will never reach pandemic level ever again, our immune system has incorporated 100 years of it. 

Coronavirus, on the other hand, is killing perfectly healthy people: doctors, politicians, everyone. You need to wake up and pay attention to this exponentially rising threat before it may be too late.

The same can be said for people who have the flu and infect others, but we never ask that question do we?

Seasonal flu kills people who have compromised immune systems. It was a pandemic in 1918 when it killed 40 million people.

Coronavirus is killing perfectly healthy people. It is a pandemic RIGHT NOW.

Don’t be ignorant.

Omg dude educate yourself ffs. You’re legit one of the most ignorant people I’ve interacted with on here. First you say Katy is failing cause she’s old looking & now you’re flat out denying that the flu isn’t something to worry about despite it killing over 10,000 since the start of this year alone? What is wrong with you, seriously? The flu doesn’t just infect people with compromised immune systems, it can infect anyone. Below are some links where you can educate yourself instead of spouting off ignorance & scaring people more than they are already.

no, the influenza from 1918 was an aggressive strain which is the reason so many people died. the flu thats around nowadays is much less aggressive.

you're trying to spread fear when there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. 

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride

The report I read said it was a “presumed positive” and the CDC had not her confirmed it was COVAD-19. 
 

I refuse to join the panic.

Horrible news. RIP. It's terrifying people don't show symptoms for weeks and little kids are often asymptomatic. My uncle is a doctor in King County, WA and we can only hope for quarantines at this point 😔 

I almost died of the flu when I was 22 (pneumonia, kidney failure, 5-day stay in hospital) and I literally thought it was just a cold (even though my body was rejecting sips of water lolz) until the doctors were like 'oh, honey...' so maybe think twice before making blasé 'it's just the flu' 'she was high risk' comments.  It will come for us all.

I’m glad you made it!! I had similar experience when I was 18. The flu is no joke.

We should not panic. But I'm sure the coronavirus is much more dangerous than we are being told. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that we are not getting all available information about the virus, in order to not make us panic.

Correct. Even doctors need to considered frailty when evaluating health.

Not to be ageist at all - but it does make a difference in health.

Telling people not to worry about a brand new disease that has killed close to 3,000 in two months is morbidly grotesque. What is wrong with you?
