I have seen both on here and Facebook continually say that Covid-19 is just the flu. This is despite all the scientific evidence that says it is true? Is this simply anti-science, anti-MSM or what?
There are MANY who choose not to accept science only, I"m one of them. I think thru just about everything and question ALL....I work at not being a sheep.
Because it is "flu-like". I think that is what people mean. The flu kills a lot of people as well, but we are used to those deaths.
It is flu-like but comparing the numbers of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths of different contagious diseases does not mean anyone is saying Covid is the flu. World of difference if anyone takes the time on different threats to actually read the postings.

I think it's the line used by people who are trying to minimize what it is. That started right away a couple of months ago. Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, etc.
It's more like pneumonia. In fact, it can turn into pneumonia, which I THINK is what kills people. For others it's very mild even after the incubation period.
The virus can leave a person's lungs damaged, even after recovering. Like pneumonia can. It's not the flu at all or even like it. The flu is like a serious case of sinusitis, a doctor told me once. I went, thinking I might have the flu, but I had a bad case of sinusitis.

Don't forget CNN and most MSM. They might not say it now but when it first came out all news were stating that it was a type of flu.
It's people being stupid. Some are intentionally minimizing the pandemic, to push a political or financial agenda. Some are intentionally making false claims on "parody" websites, and there are very ignorant, stupid, gullible people who will take those claims, turn them viral, and spread the word that they "know this for fact" when it's entirely and completely fiction - even according to the website that the article comes from (such as the Onion).
