This is an ever evolving situation and we will continue to provide important information. Help us to share facts, not fear.
do we have any useful numbers?
How many cases; How many deaths from that other virus (influenza) in Bergen County so far?
.
My guess is that it is at least 10-fold of the coronavirus numbers.
.
…but that’s OK.
Those people who are dying and suffering from that other more lethal and more contagious virus are not important.
.
Can you imagine if people weren’t staying home weeks ago when this started.
The problem is that although it’s a really good thing that the vast majority of us are staying home, everyone still needs to eat, which means trips to the supermarket. Essential workers are still going into the workplace. Kids are sneaking out to see friends. No matter how careful we are, this highly-contagious virus is still going to spread. No-one knows for sure yet about getting re-infected even if you have had it and gotten over it.
We just would Like to say to our fellow employees, if anyone has experience flu like symptoms please stay home .please stay away from other employees go to the doctor. It’s just not worth it. We need to keep everyone healthy.
And it’s amazing a few weeks ago I’ve heard individuals say that this flew was a joke. We say now ,oh yeah No joke is it. Just like the governor says if you are experience full like symptoms go to your doctor stay home.I work in a pharmacy and we cannot keep up.
yes… the “flew” is a joke.
OK…
Experts say coronavirus is 10 times as lethal as the flu.
Remember last year when a viral infection “the flu” (influenza) swept through your office or workplace?
.
One person got sick and then another and another. Then the first person came back to work after a week or so, and so on and so on.
.
Some offices/places of work were “ghost towns” for a few weeks or a month.
.
…but the work continued.
…the healthy staff worked harder and picked up the slack, while waiting for the sick to recover.
…we soldiered on.
…the work got done.
…the company (and the world) stayed open.
.
People died.
LAST YEAR 80,000 PEOPLE DIED from Influenza in the USA
.
IF WE SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY LAST YEAR, LESS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INFECTED BY INFLUENZA AND LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED.
.
…but we didn’t
.
Why?
Were we hateful, callous people?
Did we just understand that people get sick and die, and it is sad, but life persisits; life must be lived?
.
– – – – – – –
Now, a new viral infection (coronavirus) is active in the USA.
.
Why all of a sudden are we reacting to a viral infection by shutting down the nation and barricading ourselves at home this year?
…to save lives?
…to reduce the spread of this virus?
.
OK.
But why didn’t we do that last year for last year’s virus?
It would have saved lives and reduced the spread of infection.
.
Shoud we do it next year when influenza “season” arrives?
Should we shut down the country annually so we can reduce the infection and death rate?
.
It all seems a bit hysterical.
.
“Experts say coronavirus is 10 times as lethal as the flu.”
.
“Experts” DON’T KNOW.
.
We DO NOT have any useful numbers to determine leathality of COVID-19, let alone being able to compare its leathality to other viral infections such as influenza.
.
We will EVENTUALLY know, but any “expert” who says they know now is either ignorant or dishonest.
.
Stop it now, open up shop give it a few weeks , stay quarantined and were back
Yes influenza didn’t make many sick and killed many people too. But not like this throughout the world this fast we’re talking about four weeks.This is no joke.
If anyone feels that this is a joke, they must not be in the medical field. I pray that you don’t get it. Or your family member. Especially ones that cannot fight because they have a low Immune system.
At the end of the list for those who are
Lucky enough to make it through this
Pandemic
Hygiene and conservative expenditure
You have to have at least a years salary in the bank or non stock liquid
Asset reserves
With a house full of kids Double That !! Live below your means. Quit smoking !!
New Orleans reports due Corona mitigation that
It’s a difficult time to be a rat, really” Riegel told reporters.
Let’s wait a few more weeks and we can see exactly how serious this is/was.
Regular flu is .1% lethal, this so far through out the world has been at about 2%, so about 20x worse.
Stop comparing to regular flu. If we do nothing we would lose 1 to 2 million people!
Yeah mike , you must be in s dream .
You just said its 2% death rate. Let’s really take the number into consideration. And what more would you like to do? This is as good as its going to get. You havnt even begun to see the true consequence of the actions taken thus far.
Unfortunately no health care system is prepared for this, it is truly comparable to war.
However this is the price we all pay for wanting cheap goods from a corrupt devious country. And dont tell me it’s from a bat. They have been eating them for hundreds of years. This was from a lab. Google where Chinas primary virology institute is. Bats? Please.
To the person who said 80,000 died last year and we kept going to work. If we do that this year we could be looking at millions of Americans dead. If we stay home we may keep it below 240,000. That’s right THREE TIMES as many as died all of last season from the flu.
THIS IS NOT THE FLU!
stop the stupid the silly hysteria
SO FAR this season per the CDC:
.
“CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 39 million flu illnesses, 400,000 hospitalizations and 24,000 deaths from flu.”
.
“Laboratory confirmed influenza-associated hospitalization rates for the U.S. population overall are higher than most recent seasons and rates for children 0-4 years and adults 18-49 years are the highest CDC has on record for these age groups, surpassing rates reported during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Hospitalization rates for school-aged children (5-17 years) are higher than any recent regular season but remain lower than rates experienced by this age group during the pandemic.”
.
“Pneumonia and influenza mortality levels have been low, but 155 influenza-associated deaths in children have been reported so far this season. This number is higher than recorded at the same time in every season since reporting began in 2004-05, except for the 2009 pandemic.”
.
So….
So Far:
24,000 deaths including 155 in children
and this is in a year where the flu is experiencing a LOW mortality rate
.
Compare these to COVID-19
.
I guess these deaths are OK since they are not from a new and exciting virus….
.
JUST TO BE CLEAR…..
I think that COVID-19 is serious.
I think that Influenza is serious (and is currently more lethal).
I think that the reaction to COVID-19 is an hysterical overreation
(especially when put in perspective to another lethal virus)
.
It’s amazing four weeks ago people thought this was a joke. Well I can tell you it’s no joke. Believe me you don’t want to get sick. Especially if you have a conditions. We Heard from a few people oh don’t worry about it it’s just the ongoing flew . Well it’s not, this will kick your ass. Stay home if you don’t Feel good, do not go to work and get others sick.
Benjamin – wake up.
.
The flu (aka by some as “the flew”) is ALSO no Joke.
MANY, MANY (10s of thousands… close to 100,000) people DIE, annually in the USA alone.
Getting the flu is unpleasant and can last 2-4 weeks. It can hospitalize you. It can kill you.
It will “kick your ass”.
.
Coronavirus is bad, but so is Influenza.
Currently, infected and deaths ARE NO WHERE NEAR the infections, hospitalizations and deaths by influenza this year.
.
But people live with these Influenza deaths and illnesses EVERY SINGLE YEAR, without hiding in their houses or shuttering all businesses.
.
Learn your facts.
.
#StopTheHysteria
.
I think what Benjamin is expressing is that Way too many people go to work sick each and every day at times. And what needs to be done in the future is that if anyone is feeling symptoms just stay home, go visit your doctor get checked out. We don’t need to spread anymore germs.
