Yes people do die from the flu every year, but at the rate about 30-to 40 times less that of the Coronavirus. It is turning into a wildfire with cases going up more each day. Today in the USA it went up 3,654 from 11AM to 5PM, from 14437 to 18121. On 3-10-20 we had 959 total cases at 7PM, 10 days later we have 18121. Being in the at risk population I am concerned. The best thing we can do is avoid contact with other people, hugs and handshakes are out. Remember every public doorknob could be a source of infection. If you are out and about and stop somewhere and touch anything like a gas nozzle to fill up, do not put your hands next to your mouth or eat anything with your hands before you wash and disinfect them. Nitrile or vinyl gloves will help, but know how to remove them, before you touch the car door knob or steering wheel. If you are over 70 it could be deadly, especially if you have other medical conditions. Be Safe I enjoy reading all of your posts and want to be able to keep doing so.
