Th effect of flu in the US: "CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010."We're all freaking out about a couple cases of Corona virus (or Zika, or EEV) while 10,000+ people die every year and 100,000's are hospitalized at a cost of billions to the health care system and economy from a disease that is mostly preventable in the US. It makes me completely crazy.
