"Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the
CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000. " Apparently this happens every year, in all countries, thousands upon thousands of people die from common flu. So why didn't we have travel bans, border closures and mass panic with these numbers in 2019,2018,2017................etc etc etc.
