So why not the same precautions and mania every winter when identified
flus kill 30,000 to 60,000 Americans? Nobody's answered that yet.

Better safe than sorry. Get people's attention so when the problem fades
away the stock market will soar.

Remember the swine flu mania?
The swine flu was a serious enough outbreak for President Barack
Obama to declare a public health emergency in late April 2009. The
WHO declared it a pandemic in early July – at which time 18,000
Americans had contracted novel flu virus and 44 had died. And unlike
coronavirus, the swine flu was more deadly to younger people. Obama
declared a national emergency when the virus reemerged with a
vengeance in the fall.
Yet the press barely covered any of these events.
When the WHO declared the swine flu “unstoppable” on June 11, 2009,
CNN didn’t even lead with that story on its homepage. It was in a
pile of links on the side of the page.
A week later, there was /no mention of the swine flu anywhere on
CNN’s home page/.
