Message Subject ALERT: CDC now says U.S. has ‘way too much virus’ to control pandemic as cases surge across country

The coronavirus is spreading too rapidly and too broadly for the U.S. to bring it under control, Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday.

“We’re not in the situation of New Zealand or Singapore or Korea where a new case is rapidly identified and all the contacts are traced and people are isolated who are sick and people who are exposed are quarantined and they can keep things under control,” she said in an interview with The Journal of the American Medical Association’s Dr. Howard Bauchner. “We have way too much virus across the country for that right now, so it’s very discouraging.”

“This is really the beginning,” Schuchat said of the U.S.’s recent surge in new cases. “I think there was a lot of wishful thinking around the country that, hey it’s summer. Everything’s going to be fine. We’re over this and we are not even beginning to be over this. There are a lot of worrisome factors about the last week or so.”

“While you plan for it, you think about it, you have that human denial that it’s really going to happen on your watch, but it’s happening,” she said. “As much as we’ve studied the 1918 flu pandemic, I think what we’re experiencing as a global community is really bad and it’s similar to that 1918 transformational experience.”

So - we got over the 1918 flu with no vaccine, we will get over this too.

Pandemics kill people. Everyone dies. Pandemics just change when and why they die. The Spanish Flu was more virulent and during one spike due to a mutation killed people in the prime of their lives (unlike most that kill mostly the young and old). The healthcare system wasn't the same then as now. But we have a bigger population.

Regardless - it is a pandemic. People will die. What are you going to do about it - take a vaccine?

All you can do is take personal responsibility for your own health - get rest, lower stress, cut out sugar, alcohol, and refined carbs, take vitamins D, C, Zinc, etc.
