“Flu is a much bigger risk to the average person,” said Dr. Jerome Adams, surgeon general of the United States.
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Americans should be more concerned about the flu than the coronavirus, the nation’s top doctor said Tuesday.
Adams said Tuesday that the Department of Health and Human Services is taking the virus seriously, but he warned about a more widely known illness.Coronavirus: Everything you need to know about the deadly illness alarming the world “The fact is, at least right now, the risk of coronavirus is low to most people in the U.S.,” he said. “You’re more likely to get, to be hospitalized or to die from the flu than the coronavirus.”
“We are carefully following the spread of this disease globally so we understand which areas of the world are most at risk,” he said. “Right now, the United States is at low-risk, and our soldiers are getting everything they need to make sure they’re safe.”“We don’t want undifferentiated flu confusing our health professionals when we’re trying to evaluate people who may have coronavirus,” he said. “Flu is more likely to affect you, and we know how to protect ourselves against that.
