Quote:If you live in the U.S, your risk of contracting the new strain of coronavirus identified in China is exceedingly low. The flu is another story — it's very active and more than 8,000 people have died from it in the U.S. this season.

Conflating the flu to this coronavirus is pretty fucking stupid, and it's actually wholly unrelated.
Any super big name in the media who does this needs to just bow out gracefully and close down.
No shit people need to wash their fucking hands because the flu is out there... 2019-nCoV is not the flu and it has the most populous country in the fucking world on lockdown right now, so shut the fuck up.
Fuck you NPR.
