This is a new strain of a corona. Since we dont have regular flu vaccines for it yet, people cant get their yearly shots, like they do any other year with the other types of flu.
The reason why other flus are not interrupting society is because people get those shots. That makes it harder for it to spread. People DO still get the flu. Not as many gets it to the point where it affects places to the point where stuff has to stop. You can look in many articles and read yearly how much those work absences do cost business. You can also understand the vitriol against “anti-vaxxers”. Most people in the end usually just get mild symptoms that require just some sleep, medicine, and maybe some chicken soup.
And yes, as stated, lots of people do die from it. Again, you just dont notice.
Obviously as this one caused a lot of grief in China, as it is a communist sh*thole with an incompetent government, they got their asses handed to them early, and the whole world saw it. There was no reason for that level of FUBAR if they were on the ball and behaved more like Singapore or Taiwan.
So now their F-up becomes a problem we have to deal with as our retard CEOs depend on that nation for their supply chains, hurting the economy for a few weeks. Because of the scary images out of China, and bored idiots at home writing evermore outlandish stories of doom and such to dump on the internet, you now have all of these measures needed to take place to calm people the hell down.
If this originated in Iran, you would not have as big an issue. If it originated in S. Korea, it would have been contained weeks ago.
H1N1, Swine, Avian, SARS all were deadly outbreaks. I was a big Info Wars guy back then and Jones sure as hell hyped that stuff up. Thankfully the media and social media wasnt the breading ground for nonsense as it is obviously today.
Governments dont want this to spread, as they shouldn’t. Not because it’s going to kill massive numbers of people as our wannabe Alex Jones clones scream, but because the disruption from needless panic and rumor-mongering like this:
“Because maybe there’s a lot more to this than they are willing to tell us peasants. “
DO hurt society more. During WW2 people and troops were educated to not let their damn fear get the best of them to incite panic.
