Still think flu is worse?

This article popped up in my feed for some reason and wow has this comment not aged well

Boy, this aged like milk.

This post doesn’t really age well

Just came back to remind you how poorly this aged. 

This aged well

Looks like your dipshit comment aged well. Congrats.

Shut the fuck up.

Hi, I come from the future. So far there’s 365k deaths in the US. Don’t you look silly?

And 0% of people are innoculated/vaccinated for this. Why do you think everyone is freaking out now? Why do you think the whole state of Washington just cancelled school for the next month and a half? Because if we don't freak out and treat this seriously we will be fucked. I know the media cries wolf a lot, but this…

Just a reminder: hospitals and caregivers are prepared for the flu. We aren’t remotely prepared for COVID-19.

I cant star this enough. All the idiots on my feed saying its just another flu I’m like “No you idiots, the flu is another flu. This is something else.”

So will you STFU when COVID-19 assuredly passes this number in the next few weeks or so with no signs of slowing down the spread across most of the world?

Absolutely. The flu’s overall death toll is due to its relatively high exposure rate. The percentage survival rate of the seasonal flu is currently less than the coronavirus. That might change with circumstances, such as better knowing how to treat people infected with coronavirus (which is a key factor in surviving…

Not the best comparison. The Flu is a whole bunch of different strains of influenza while the Coronavirus in the news is specifically a single strain, Covid-19. Covid-19 is frightening because it spreads quickly, doesn’t show symptoms until weeks later, it can survive outside a body for several days, and has a…

This, also, coronavirus seems to be more lethal by comparison, which is different. The flu is lethal but it doesn’t seem to be as lethal.

That comparison is facetious, because it’s two completely different situations. Also, your point appears to be that the coronavirus isn’t dangerous because it’s killed less people than the seasonal flu. By that logic we should only care about things that are the absolute worst, and never worry about lesser dangers.

And just a reminder, we have treatments for the flu and coronavirus has a higher fatality rate.
