It’s like a severe cold if you are young and healthy, not so much if you are over 60 and have health problems. But hey, who needs their parents and grandparents, we can always get new ones. Oh wait, no we can’t.
You really think COVID-19 just hit the States? With the level of global travel we have in 2020, this crap has been here for a couple months already, but the media wasn’t telling you to panic then, so you didn’t panic. Even with elderly patients, there is over a 90% survival rate. Stop acting like we are battling airborne Ebola.

This isn’t ebola, there weren’t millions of people flying in and out of three of the poorest countries on earth. And hey maybe those 9 out of ten elders that survive will include your family. Since you’re talking out your *** I’ve got one grandparent left and a dad that has really shown his age the last year or two, you can take that 10% chance that I’ll get to keep them if they contract it and shove it up you know where.
Is the flu contagious?I never thought Id have to ask someone this but- do you know heart disease and cancer are not contagious?
Yes. It also a known quantity with a vaccine, sufficient testing, a shorter incubation period, and a slower spread rate. And its also one reason our hospital capacity is used up. So if another is added...
but my main point was to highlight an egregiously bad analogy
That's what I just can't get over. The arrogance is astonishing.Your baseline explanation seems to be that everyone is stupid- except for you, who has figured it out.
Every leader of every country of every political stripe is wrong. All public health officials are wrong. All the leading epidemiologists in this country and others are wrong.36-55K (CDC estimate) people died from the flu this year. Were their lives not worth a nationwide quarantine?

But you, BELdog, you are right.**
There's a pretty clear difference between thinking for yourself and ignoring the expertise of professionals based on google searches and a gut feeling. The latter is how people become anti-vaxxers.No, he’s not smarter than everyone else. But he IS thinking for himself. Most of those people you list are mere sheep, just like the rest of the population - acting on fear, panic, lawsuits, etc.
Nothing wrong with being responsible but still thinking for yourself. This board is full of people posting links and saying it’s gospel because well, the link said so. Too much information out there so you have to wade through it.

See my post above. We are doing everything we can to fight the flu each year and carry on normally. Know quantity.
now imagine is the standard flu showed up for the first time this year, no one was vaccinated, we couldnt test for it, it showed no symptoms for twice as long as it does and spread roughly twice as fast. Thats horrifying.
I never thought Id have to ask someone this but- do you know heart disease.... (is) not contagious?
Some of you geniuses need to learn the difference between fear and concern
Hereditary and contagious are not the same thing. Another thing i never thought id have to explain.
BECAUSE ITS NOT CONTAGIOUS. There is plenty of awareness about the dangers of heart disease. But if someone wants to make that choice to eat poorly and not exercise its their choice. But when they make that choice they cannot impact other people.
on the flip side, if someone wants to ignore corona warnings it impacts lots and lots of people
