What's your opinion

The Flu has been around for a long time. Doctors, nurses know how to deal with it, they know how to treat it, we have vaccines for it. COVID-19 has been around since December. Not that long, and not much is known about despite what people may think, otherwise we would all be good.

We do not quarantine or lock down for the flu. Millions or billions of people contract the flu every year and life goes on as normal. People still go to work, there is no social distancing, people aren't losing work over it, people aren't panicing or freaking it, which really contributes to the problem and in that regard it is blow out of proportion, but yea. A lot of precautionary measures are being taken to prevent a more rapid spread of the virus. Were it not for that, considering none of that happens with the flu, the mortality rate would be much higher. Every doctor or expert I've seen says the flu keels somewhere like.5 or.6% of people that get it a year. COVID-19 kills much more than that, some say somewhere between 1 and 3.5% or something like that. Don't know what's accurate, but it's new and the numbers will fluctuate because they are still gathering data. It's been over a day and the death toll already went up 1,000 more people.

Apparently someone or some individuals that contracted it and recovered tested positive once again for the virus. I don't know that validity of that, but I read it today.

I do agree that it is blown out of proportion because people are stupid, buying outrageous amounts of toilet paper and hand sanitizer, which does nothing to combat the virus. Even if it did, you could still get it through air by sneezing or coughing.

Your entitled to your own opinion

[Ripper_E]

except it's not my opinion. I'm not making this up.
The whole the flu is worse thing comes from something we know a lot about vs something we don't from numbers that are not controlled with the flu vs numbers that are being contained as much as possible with COVID-19.

Ok.😁
