How does that make any sense? You and your family have had it so you won't be getting it again, and as a result the infection rate is now low? I have to say that I am amazed that you can continue to publicly post your Covid beliefs with your name attached to it. At least it's not your real name...

That's what I keep reading. So as I said before, I want no part of it. The regular flu doesn't do this to you.

yes, the second wave of covid19, which will come, will just be the seasonal flu.


they will call it covid19 and we will be on lockdown again.


I hope you all went out and enjoyed your summer, its going to be a long winter of being on lockdown again

It is true that flu has essentially identical symptoms (fever, cough, body aches, fatigue and congestion or runny nose; sometimes vomiting and diarrhea) and essentially identical modes of transmission to Covid-19.

They both cause respiratory disease, which presents as a wide range of illness from asymptomatic or mild through to severe disease and death. Both can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. Also, good hygiene and social distancing and face coverings slow the spread of both. And both are deadly (particularly for the elderly and those with compromised conditions).

It is also true that LI folks have essentially stopped dying of Covid-19 related illnesses and our test positivity number (FWIW) is well under 1% for Covid -19. But flu season is right around the corner. And there may be another wave of Covid. And there is always another wave of flu.

It appears that kids are more significant spreaders of flu than they are of Covid although that is still being investigated and it appears Flu is more deadly for kids but that too is still being investigated. In any case, to stop the spread of flu (and Covid) kids in school should practice good hygiene, social distancing, and face coverings.

Like the various strains of the flu, Covid will be with us for quite a while.

But, the flu virus and the Covid-19 viruses are two different viruses. Without a test the two illnesses may appear identical.

If you're wrong then you won't say anything again, but if you're right, you will say you told us so... is that about right?
