For comparison: in 2018, 3091 people died from the flu in Florida. Taken from CDC website.
So my question is, why is much of the Florida population walking around in a state of paranoia? In my lifetime this is the first media generated pandemic that I have ever witnessed? Not saying people should not be careful just as always with any disease or virus out there. But this current reaction is unwarranted!
