Your frenzy about the coronavirus flu is feeding the schisofrenia that has taken over the Western governments and media affecting people returning from China! This flu appears to be no worse than a normal flu! Over the last year about 8,200 US citizens died from the normal flu. With a population of only 320 million compared to China 1.4 billion, the US number is “just” 48,000 percent higher than the 170 deaths attributted to this particular strain of coronavirus! But nobody sees the same rush to quarantine people coming from the United States!
