However, since the negative impact, compared to say "swine flu" is quite miniscule in comparison, I'm quickly becoming annoyed by all of the overreaction, both Nationally and Globally. Life never halted for any of Zika, Ebola, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc., etc. Why start mass panic now?
The fact that sports leagues and the NCAA are cancelling events is just crazy. The participants in any of those events are among those considered "least at risk" of a negative outcome.
I don't get it either Sunset ? If my understanding is correct it's not airborne and those are the really dangerous ones. 1,000's and 1,000's of people die of the flu every year. Regular precautions that I already do and everybody should do should limit it's impact, no ?
At any rate I hope everybody stays well.
