Read an article in the paper today saying everyone is hyped on the coronivirus while we are having one of the worst flu outbreaks in a while. Flu kills over 6000 people annually in the US and around 650,000 worldwide annually. It is a much bigger problem than coronovirus at least right now.

Sooner or later there will be a virus with a short incubation period that will get us all and leave a few remnant populations that are vary isolated. True Dat, If people don't get more serious about getting inoculated against Influenza to build up anti-bodies, and one of these flu strains mutates, and we will have a world-wide pandemic on our hands that will make the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic look like an outbreak of the common cold. The 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic was spread across the globe by soldiers traveling by railroad and by troopships crossing the Atlantic. Imagine how quickly a Influenza pandemic outbreak will spread aided by modern jet air travel between continents. BOHICA !!!! w

I was teaching in China during SARS. One of the problems then as in now are “talking heads”. It’s media people who speculate and then their listeners/viewers take their word as gospel. There were all sorts of “remedies” being tried, reported, followed and no reporting that none of them worked. Lots of quick yuan/buck artists at work to be sure.
At the time, people in China didn’t wash their hands with soap, so when the US CDC was recommending hand washing, it meant different things to different people.
When you’re dealing with a population of 4 times the population of US in roughly the same number of square miles, at a time when it’s tradition to go see the relies, it’s hard to control. Nobody quite knows the incubation period so you could look and feel well, travel 10,000 miles, and bring it with you, only to get sick 3 days later. There is some analysis of outbreaks of significant diseases which suggests locking down Chinese cities might be too late. But, try to lock down a western city and see how well that goes. At least in China most people will listen to lockdown orders issued by their central government. You know that wouldn’t happen here.
Never too old to learn

I did read that the Spanish Influenza started at a military base in Kansas and spread over seas on troop ship head to WW 1. What I did not read is why they referred to it as Spanish Influenza. My great uncle got it and didn't know it at the time. He was at Camp Beauregard getting ready to ship out to France during WW1. He made it to France and died shortly after. To my understanding France was under wartime censorship and when the flu moved to Spain, which wasn't censored, it gained attention and became the spanish flu.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
