By Monday it should drop even lower since we had our first death.

And the CDC estimates that 18,000 - 46,000 people in the U.S. alone have died during this current flu season just since October 2019 - but you don’t hear about that from the MSM as it happens every year and therefore it’s not sensational enough.

Yep and hundreds are still drying of aids every year I believe, but it is no longer fashionable to talk about it.

So many things out there than can kill us that we seldom hear about. I think real life preps are smart but I still see no need to panic. When a few hundred thousand die in the US, then it might be time to panic. Until then, use your head and be smart.
