What the fuck is sooooo different about this flu???

How is it that the last flu season, 2018-2019, about 35.5 people had the flu, 16.4 million people were treated by their clinic or doctor, almost half a million were hospitalized, and over 34,000 people DIED - and life went on as usual in our country.

What are they not telling us about this flu virus that makes it soooooo scary to them that they are willing to shut down the country and force us to remain inside? Except that it is an election year, the movement to save the planet has escalated, and the need to act to protect life on our planet is at its most crucial tipping point. So keep people from gathering in the streets, from closing down congress and corporations, from stopping drilling and pipelines.
