#coronarovirus has infected less than 900 people, caused 26 deaths, and has people freaking out. Meanwhile the flu has infected an estimated 15,000,000+ and caused an estimated 8,200+ deaths since Oct 1st and people still don’t get vaccinated.

Here’s where I got my numbers at the time of posting: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-virus-factbox/what-we-know-about-the-new-coronavirus-spreading-in-china-and-beyond-idUSKBN1ZM0C7 https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm
