As was told to me by this person, healthy people who do get sick are sicker than normal flu, but they recover. Kids tend to be asymptomatic, which is weird, but are little bags or disease spreading pus, so it gets around really easily once it gets into a community. People are also symptomatic for longer. All this adds up to more time off work, less productivity and a downturn in economic activity.I have read some very credible doctors and scientists views on this, and their view and stats don't support it. The only thing that's worse than flu with this virus and how infectious it is.
Oh yeah, and this defo meets the definition of a pandemic and is being treated as such for all intents and purposes. Perhaps it is not being officially called this to keep the masses calm (perhaps because it ain't a particularly dangerous virus in its own right) or because for economic purposes (either nefarious (pandemic bond maturation etc.) or justified).
Edit 2.0 - My discussion was with ID specialist who has previously led a states response to the management of outbreaks of Ebola and other communicable diseases. Knows his shit.
