We’re not just dealing with one virus right now…
And the Flu numbers are are MORE then the number of ccornavirus numbers….
The numbers for BOTH taken together are sobering…
While the public deals with the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to New York State and major regions of the United States, flu season remains underway with the latest data being reported by the CDC.
So far this season, the CDC estimates between 39 million and 55 million flu illnesses, at least 400,000 hospitalizations, and as many as 63,000 deaths from flu, of which 162 are pediatric.
New York State is reporting 157,426 positive cases. The latest data (ending March 28) shows a 77% decrease in reported cases from the previous week.
Coronavirus or Flu: What’s the difference?
In Monroe County, there have been 17 deaths and 5,770 confirmed cases since October 1. Of those confirmed cases, 761 were hospitalized.
This year’s strain is unusual compared to previous years….
Note…
There IS a flu virus vaccine that lessen the sickness….
Scientists are working a treatment and vaccine for the corona virus…
Results are promising…
But product won’t be widely available for months…
New report say the Trump back malaria drug is NOT effect for the corona virus even though it is widely prescribed by doctors and hospitals around the country…
Like I said?
The CDC guy needs to get his shit straight….
The piece has HIS agencies numbers….
He’s luck the media ain’t on his case…
He’d get a ‘F’ ….
What’s your point?
What is ig you “claim” he’s done wrong?
The guy is a fucking idiot…Or?…Being evasive
The flu is currently here NOW…
He’s talking about NEXT year?
…
‘“We’re going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time,” he said. Having two simultaneous respiratory outbreaks would put unimaginable strain on the health-care system, he said….The first wave of covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has already killed more than 42,000 people across the country. It has overwhelmed hospitals and revealed gaping shortages in test kits, ventilators and protective equipment for health-care workers.
In a wide-ranging interview, Redfield said federal and state officials need to use the coming months to prepare for what lies ahead’….

WTF is going on NOW?????
Let’s crawl before we walk?
Isn’t that your view Jack?
Uh James ,his point was that unlike this year, when the coronavirus began in large numbers in March when the flus season had been going on for almost six months.
Next year, it will be around contemporaneously with the beginning of the flu season around October.
Even a simple person like you ought to understand the difference and the point he was making .
I would be very careful who you call a “fucking idiot.” There are those who would say that anyone who couldn’t understand the obvious point he was making is a ,well Ill just let it go at that.
As that “crawl before we walk”thing that you attributed to me?As is often the case,I have no idea what you are talking about or what that has to do with the subject of this discussion.
The guy is talking about next year…
He should be helping the now….
The Flu IS here now …
Both as u point out…
If i was sitting in the room when he said this?
I would have pointed out the untimely ness of his comments…
Again?
TODAY…..
Something concrete we take care of so we get better at dealing with the future…
Professionals are supposed to cease thinking about and planning for the future?
I truly have no idea why this bothers you.
You ought to truly be opposed to Biden having any sort of Transition Team then.
THAT IS going to be VERY important as Biden also works on doing his campaign act RIGHT NOW…
Of Course they should…
The main point I was making with Jack was that he seemed to be disregarding the current situation….
Not in the slightest.
I disagree…
