However, the world has been experiencing one of our worst flu seasons in the past few years. Our flu cases are high and from the flu 50,000 people in the United States alone have died. Because of this, our hospitals do not have enough supplies to deal with SARS-CoV-2. We were not designed, as a country, with our current medical system, to deal with two pandemics at the same time. If this new virus had emerged when we already had the flu handled, a country shutdown would not have been necessary because we would have had the supplies to catch it quickly. It was just bad timing, unfortunately.
