How many cases of Flu happen in a 6-10 week period during “prime season”?
It’s really not the same thing. CV is much more contagious and the resources required to treat them are significantly higher. Finally, the death rate is much, much higher.
The primary issue is not that the CV will kill you...but it will overwhelm the system to the point where it breaks. Then the fatalities will shoot up for ALL reasons.
The secondary issue is that our “just in time” economy will grind to a halt.
And then....toss this on top of a system designed to handle the common flu.
