Anonymous Coward User ID: 72655629 United States 03/02/2020 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Something far deadlier than the Wuhan coronavirus lurks near you, right here in America There’s a deadly virus spreading from state to state. It preys on the most vulnerable, striking the sick and the old without mercy. In just the past few months, it has claimed the lives of at least 39 children. The virus is influenza, and it poses a far greater threat to Americans than the coronavirus from China that has made headlines around the world. “When we think about the relative danger of this new coronavirus and influenza, there’s just no comparison,” said Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and health policy at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “Coronavirus will be a blip on the horizon in comparison. The risk is trivial.” [ link to www.usatoday.com (secure)] |
