Dr. Drew: You’re Much More Likely to Die of the Flu than Coronavirus

EXCERPT:

PINSKY: "The panic is far worse than the virus. Let the professionals, whose job it is to contain pandemic, do their job. They're doing an amazing job. Worldwide the efforts and the effect of the organizations like the CDC and the WHO  has been remarkable, and yet the media continues to take every effort to fan the flames of panic. Look, the WHO said there’s about a 3% fatality rate on this virus, and every time they say that, they always qualify it and say, 'We expect it to drop a lot once we understand the full extent of the virus. It’s amongst us, this is a flu season, everybody. There are 18,000 deaths from the flu. Why aren’t we worried about that? Why isn’t the message get your flu show? You’re much more likely to die of the flu than the coronavirus."
