There's no room for MREs or RTEs in the basement,it's full of... other things
I just replied to someone on LJ who had similar figures. So maybe I'm wrong, but it still seems that a nasty 'flu is more serious than this thing - even with the annually updated 'flu vaccine... Both L-SP & I got the 'flu in 2012, a couple of months before we were going to the USA & for about a week we thought we were going to die. My god, that was nasty... & we'd both had the 'flu vaccine that year
I can understand the closing of borders & the ban on large gatherings to slow the rate of infection. I guess I just wonder what's so special about this one, when there are diseases & other things that kill large numbers every year & nobody flies into a panic at the supermarket (or the Stock Market) over them... Will this be the new normal for every subsequent 'crisis'??
