With all the hue, cry and angst spread by the MSM regarding the Covid-19... FACTS:
Average deaths from flu in the last 14 years: 24,364...
Projected deaths for 2020 from flu... 23,000 to 59,000.
These final estimates were that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1.
The federal government has urged schools to close because of the swine flu only as a last resort. But schools are closing by the dozens as officials say they are being hit so hard and so fast by the H1N1 virus that they feel shutting down for a few days is the only feasible option.
Swine flu... angst, panic... MSM!!!
"There was nothing else we could do," said Michael Frechette, the superintendent of Connecticut's Middletown Public Schools where a middle school closed for the rest of the week after 120 students stayed home sick Monday and another 25 were sent home by noon. "The only way to stop that transmittal was to keep the kids home for the rest of the week."

At least 351 schools were closed last week alone —
affecting 126,000 students in 19 states, according to the U.S. Education Department. So far this school year, about 600 schools have temporarily shut their doors
Nothing. No "Social Distancing".
Aug. 7, 2009 - Schools should try to stay open if swine flu hits, new CDC guidelines urge.
Schools and parents should do everything they can to limit the flu spread within schools. They should close only if the school isn't able to function or if the swine flu virus mutates into a more deadly form.
Flanked by three members of the Obama Cabinet -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan -- CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, MD, today announced the new guidelines at a news conference.
WHAT???? Where was the MSM calling for school closures NATIONWIDE???

Folks... we've been suckered by the MSM! 24/7... all Cable news is "covid-19"...
