I think it’s been in most states for awhile. How many people actually go to the hospital and get tested?
My whole family had the flu last month, and we didn’t even go to the doctor. We just let it run it’s course.
Heck, for all I know, we could of had it.
we too do not go to the dr for the flu....we just take care of ourselves and wait it out, which the high priced dr would have said anyway.....
so how many people have had it and not known nor reported their mild symptoms, because THAT group all included with those that have reported would make the death rate much less impressive....
I am starting to wonder that myself.
Back on 12/31/19 we had a healthy, young high school lady die from the complications of pneumonia and the flu at a local hospital. The “flu” then ran rampant through the high-school and elementary school causing them to be shut down for several days, not necessarily because so many kids were sick, but due to the severity of the strain. Several more kids ended up hospitalized as well. At least that is what was posted in the Facebook Community Group.
Caveat: this is also a college town
Once those reports started surfacing, I started changing a few habits of mine and avoiding the local drugstores concentrated near the campus. Not because I suspectd Covid-19 at the time, just knowing because the “strain” was so severe I didn’t want to catch it. Now I wonder if it was indeed Covid-19 making kids so ill?
You may well have. It is here is the community now so nothing further to do - we will either get it or not but it is circulating out there and apparently has been here for a while
