Well, that's it, then! We should close all public places until mid-March, so nobody can transmit the boogeyman virus to anybody else.

Really? We have flu outbreaks every year that make this particular "problem" look like an insignificant pimple on George Soros' butt. And plenty of people go out in public when they have the flu.

Before you say that "we have vaccines for the flu, but nothing for the Budweiser Virus", remember that there are many strains of the flu, each with their own particular vaccine quirks. Since these vaccines need time to be developed, packaged and made available to the public, the doctors are guessing in August which strain will hit in December. As I recall, the accuracy rate on this guess is somewhere around 50%. What that means is that there is half a chance that the vaccine you got for Christmas will do you no good in February when a different strain turns out to be the "winner".

Better the dipsticks on the Left and their minions in the Lame Stream Media should talk about standard precautions to prevent the flu and stop making this into the latest "Trump is responsible" nothingburger bullcrap.

It doesn’t matter anyway. The following is a link to an older article.
