    Because you don't read news and can't do math:

    "Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000. "

    So AT LEAST 12K people dying in 4 months aka 120 days is exactly 100 dead per day during the flu season. But this is the very minimum and could be as high as 250.

    Glad to help...

    Stay at home except for food (only a few allowed inside and limits on quantity to prevent panic buying so a queue) and pharmacy has been in effect since last week and will continue until the April 13th. Only one person per family allowed shop, nobody over 70 (store will shop for them if nobody to assist).

    There is an online form to get permission to move for special reasons etc.

    This is Colomba, the US is doing too little too late.

  5. Friend it is a terrible crisis, in Latin America many countries do not have how to handle this virus, hospitals do not have the necessary resources, I clarify that I am currently talking about Colombia, students from public universities make respirators and also antibacterial gel.

    In Italy similar laws are already enacted. Not as drastic though...
