What is still flooring to me is that we (understandably) are taking great precautions but 10s if not 100s of thousands of people die each year from influenza. THIS year that many may die from flu and NO ONE is talking about that. You would think that we would be even more worried about it now.

If you are referring to the common seasonal flu as compared to Covid 19, the stats are out there. I think you will find the Covid 19 has killed far more. It is looking it will stick around for a long while and not go away as the seasonal flu does racking up even more deaths.

Just talked to our mail carrier where I work. a few folks in our local facility died from C19. The facilities in and around are swamped with no relief in sight and due to fear from the death, Dept. heads and workers are self quarantining and are a hair away from just walking out and shutting down The manpower is outnumbered by workload to ridiculous compounded by the fact they were short to begin with and hard as they have been trying, can't get anybody to hire on either because they flat out are not enamored about being postal workers but also because most can't pass the drug screen. Oh man it's just gettin good isn't it now.
