Flu can directly lead to death when the virus triggers severe inflammation in the lungs. When this happens, it can cause rapid respiratory failure because your lungs can’t transport enough oxygen into the rest of your body.
The flu is not as picky as the corona virus seems to be,but remember states are not required to report flu deaths to the CDC so 61,200 are only the reported deaths and appears to effect similar.
I was watching news this morning and they were interviewing the people in line at a parking lot testing place in New York,over half of them said they did not feel any illness,just wanted to be tested.
So you get tested today,Tuesday they say you are fine,Friday you go shopping,do you get tested everyday?
We have been told sense existence,if your child has a cold,do not send them to school but yet every year people send their sick child to school and the whole class ends up with it.
Hence the need for lockdown and closures.Because people just do not listen.
The casino down the street from me Hard Rock in Tampa parking was full,just like it is 24-7 everyday.
Over 62,000 died last year from the Flu,but yet nothing was in place like this.
You have to wonder why?
