11 months agoWe need to stop comparing COVID19 aka Corona Virus to what this reading is referring to as ordinary flu. "as it is 10 times the death rate from seasonal flu"1
It's important to take this seriously while being calm, we humans are in this together, I usually don't like to engage in the comment section but I thought I should say something.
Stay Home, Stay safe everyone.
