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.Feb 11, 2020

From health magazine,how many deaths in America so far?
What you forgot from the very same article is a critical piece of information:

"Between 22 million and 31 million people were sickened with the flu as of Feb. 1, according to the latest CDC data."

That's the same Oct 1, 2019 - Feb 1, 2020 you brought up.

Care to do the math on fatality percentage there? Now do the calculation on the death toll if 22-31 million people got infected with the virus.

Also, note that it says 12,000, but the number of deaths *may be as high as 30,000*... Objection your honour, calls for speculation!

Facts...........are fluid.
You kids sure like to jump to conclusions and then run your mouths endlessly.
Rabble,Rabble,Rabble..........lolz.
Anyone not mindlessly spewing the same racist rhetoric is considered a trump supporter.........then called a racist.
The facts have absolutely nothing to do with your feelings and you all feel salty as Fuck and just don't know how to cope.

No. Facts are facts. Analysis differs. Dumb people can't distinguish the two - a point which you have demonstrated nicely.

I don’t like the guy. I think he’s a clown and a worthless excuse for a president. I always thought a businessman as president would be a good thing. I just pictured The US picking a successful one. Silly me

I guess you managing to call me dumb instead of racist is a step in the right direction...........kudos.
Most people on here are pretty cool. Some jump to conclusions and post things that have nothing to do with thread or bash people etc.

I’m around a lot of racist people all the time. It’s kind of funny because they all say the same dumb shit over and over. It’s like they only learned to hate and only learned a few lines of the hate message.

What’s funny about this. When I said it a few days ago it was because I was new. You’ve been here since 2011. Lmfao

My dumbass quoted the wrong post.......must have been my inherent racism.
That's your burden to bear I guess.

Earlier you said that he only posted facts and that I proved his and your point. Do facts make a point? They don't - analysis makes a point and yours is wrong as is your assertion that he only posted facts.

You don't know the difference. If more people knew the difference, Trump would not be President.

Claim to not support him all you want. I don't blame you for lying, but nobody is fooled.

Went to the local grocery store that serves a large area about 10AM on a saturday to see if there was a panic, none, and few people there so I went in and bought some stuff to stock up. I live in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Canada and there was toilet paper on the shelves though the supply was ravaged a bit. The staff told me the shelves were cleaned of it last night when folks got off work and picked up their orders on fridays, people are buying extra so they go out less often is what I figure, me too. They stocked the shelves this morning thought the situation there this afternoon might be a bit chaotic. There is no hand sanitizer to be had, but I've got the ingredients to make over 2 gallons of WHO approved hand sanitizer using instructions from a youtube video.

I noticed that there was lots of -40 windshield washer which also has a bit of detergent and water in it, I'll bet that could be used as sanitizer in a jamb, straight out of the car if required! I'll have to see what the alcohol content would be, says it's good to -40 C so there should be lots of methyl alcohol in it, google time.

Edit: -40 C windshield washer fluid is around 60% methyl Alcohol and you should be able to use it as hand sanitizer, add some glycerine to keep it from drying the skin.

Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Canada
One of my absolute favourite places to visit in all of Canada. Absolutely beautiful. I try to get out there for a couple weeks every few years. When I lived in Ontario I'd just drive out. Since I've lived out west (AB and now BC), I've flown to and drove from Halifax.

On point: Good to see that it's not a complete fiasco out on your coast. In my area out here on the west coast, I'm seeing the same thing... very little stupid panic buying. I am however outside of a major population area.
