I have this page open for the last 24 hours. It updates whenever the journos have tangible info. Dreadful.

Scare mongering. Do that with the normal flu for comparison.
Thought this way too untill I checked CDC stats on flu. Death/hospitalisation rates are completely uncompatable.
All of this is in addition to the normal flu.
It doesnt replace the flue, its an addition.
