As as scientist (not in the health field), I can tell that this is very important, realistic, and accurate information. Share this video with everyone you know.

This is one of the first interviews in which I haven't felt someone was scaremongering or minimising the effects. It's really informative and  delivers the information calmly and clearly.

“We’re not dealing with the flu” — Words from an expert. People who espouse this “it’s just a flu bro” BS are just morons.

I'm pretty sure she wanted to say "So you're saying we are going to die."

Unfortunately, it's going to take an Italy like outbreak for the U.S. to accept reality.  By then it's going to be a clusterfk.

Too much normalcy bias in this country.

Love his response. 
Her:  we dont shut down public transport for the flu
Him: I dont think we are dealing with a flu.
Brilliant.
