We spend billions every year on influenza related activities including vaccination programs, research, treatment, public health measures, and education, and despite that, the flu still claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year.

Covid-19 appears to be far more lethal, and will likely prove to be far more contagious, and we are a long way from a vaccine, while it seems to be mutating.

Here in the US we have the most incompetent potus ever and the consequences are mounting up fast.
