Hope your leaders are more intelligent and informed than ours:When the fit and healthy are dropping like with the 1919 pandemic then I'll properly start panicking

And when a journalist pointed out that COVID-19 has a fatality rate of around 2-3 per cent, while the flu is about 0.1 per cent, Trump disagreed. "The flu is much higher than that," he said.Spend less time on Twitter blaming the Dems for Wall Streets woes, and more time consulting with health care experts Donnie Baby.....
The problem with that logic is that the debate happened on Tuesday night (local time), after the markets closed."When they look at the statements made by the people standing behind those podiums, I think that has a huge effect."
Of course anyone with even a cursory knowledge of immunology knows the process of creating a vaccine takes months..."And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
Even as COVID-19 has spread to 50 countries, South Korea announced 505 new cases, Italy reported 650 cases as of Thursday night — up from 400 a day earlier — with 17 deaths, etc., etc., etc....."Nothing is inevitable," he stressed. "There's a chance it could be worse. There's a chance it could get fairly, substantially worse, but nothing is inevitable."
Panic time? Perhaps not yet. Time to prepare for the inevitable? Yep.
