So with that news above, you see why I question the coronavirus issue…
I guess I am confused about the importance of Flu vs Coronaviruses…
Flu season is running all over coronavirus season so far. Looks like we should be doubling down and be worried about the flu and the coronavirus running at the same time. What happens when you get both at the same time? It might make a bad death scene issue…

Maybe the sky is falling. We will find out, I guess…
Worldwide, the flu causes up to 5 million cases of very serious illness all over the world and kills up to 650,000+ people every year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO)…
And yet, we aren’t particularly concerned about the flu and are riding the Coronavirus horse to death…
Personally, the flu is my concern right now and in Russia flu season has not started, yet….it will soon…
