Fake News! They were sea lions and you know it!

 

These statistics should indicate to anyone / everyone that something is not working well with current US strategy.

Considering over 120,000 people were hospitalized from the flu last year just through January, we better do something before flu season hits or its going to be a real mess.

 

Yeah I don't think that very many laymen are thinking about this. 4 months until it starts up. GET YOUR FLU VACCINES PEOPLE!!

 

They should be mandatory, I know that can't be enforced but maybe insurance companies can tell policy holders that if they are hospitalized from the flu and they didn't get a flu shot then they are 100% responsible for that medical bill.

Compared to Sweden we should have about 290 new cases

 

Third straight day deaths are up from the same day last week.

 

Herd immunity may not be possible with coronavirus, as some people lose antibodies after a few weeks.

Coronavirus herd immunity may be 'unachievable' after study suggests antibodies disappear after weeks in some people

Apparently, all those toilet lickers and Petri Dish Party-goers may be getting themselves infected for nothing. Because there is a chance they will get it again.

 

A whole new definition of winning.
