Here is something to put things into perspective and set your mind at ease. There are 330,874,115 people in the U.S. As of right now there are 1339 confirmed cases in the U.S. with 38 Fatal and 15 recovered. Again, of the near 330 million people there have only been 1339 confirmed cases.
60 of those infected came from a nursing Home in Washington state. That nursing home became infected when a new resident was admitted who had just come from China. Unaware he was infected he already spread the virus thus infecting one third of its 180 staff members. Of the residents who had died from the virus all had underlying health conditions. Its quite possible that any sort of flu would have killed them. Twenty three of the 38 deaths here in the U,S. have been linked to this same nursing home. Sixty percent of the 1339 are linked to this long term care nursing home. So, it seems more isolated then the media would like us to believe.
The toilet paper mad dash stems from a facebook post where someone had encourage people to stock up as they claimed T.P. comes from China and China may shut down exports. Other posts showed emptied out displays in Australia and the media took that and ran. But, or should I say butt, there was never a need to panic.
So, for now we here in the U.S.do not have to worry. It is a flu. If you do get it and you are healthy you will get over it. Don't rely on social media where drama thrives. Fact check.
