Don't worry about the coronavirus right now. Worry about the flu, which has killed ~10,000 Americans since October. “The likelihood of an American being killed by the flu compared to being killed by the coronavirus is probably approaching infinity.”https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-31/flu-coronavirus …
Also I just found this really helpful CDC infographic about the differences between seasonal flu (the existing flu everybody gets all the time) and pandemic flu (when there's a new type of flu). https://www.cdc.gov/flu/resource-center/freeresources/graphics/seasonal-vs-pandemic-flu-infographic.htm …pic.twitter.com/jD4enhz3bT
You may not remember, but the last flu pandemic (H1N1) was in 2009, it started in the United States, killed up to half a million people in the first year it circulated, and then it just... became another seasonal flu that people get.https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html …
I think the unknown about the coronavirus freaks people out, but there's also not much you can really do about it at the moment, whereas there is much more ever-present boring killer flu that is everywhere and which can absolutely save lives just by going and getting a flu shot.
Also not to put too utilitarian a point on this, but if there is a coronavirus pandemic, you're gonna do our flu-fighting, life-saving, resource-limited healthcare system a HUGE solid by not getting hospitalized for seasonal flus that existing vaccines can protect you from.
Statements like this are harmful and disappointing when considering our global neighbors in India and Asia-Pacific. They may bear the brunt of this outbreak.
I hate this argument. How about both? If the coronavirus doesn't spread, the basic health steps people used to prevent themselves getting it might stop them from getting the flu. And if it does spread, then we have two bad things to worry about & it doesn't matter which is worse.
I get that it's important to put things in numerical context, but the flu is not a novel virus where the reported cases are still doubling every few days.
