There is talk that this pandemic is not so serious that we should close down schools and businesses. I did a little research, and it seems to me we are not taking it serious enough. It seems as though we, in the U.S. don't consider things serious unless it involves us. Well, so far there has been 3,329,786 positive cases in the U S., and 136,671 deaths in the U.S
 How does this jive with past epidemics or pandemics? I'm going to show just how this is as serious or MORE than what has occurred in the past in the U.S.
