Good call. Our government is indeed letting us down...

All the other deaths and other negative consequences are worth it if we can just save one person from the covid

He used the word statistically.

And statistically, for those under 70, the flu is actually more dangerous than cov-2.

Trump was still behind Biden in polls before covid, though it was closer. Not certain that he would have won but certainly would have had a much better chance.

I had a mild case of covid last March and am still recovering from it. The flu doesn't do that.

People who are spinning the flu narrative are only focusing on the death rate and are ignoring the long haul post-viral syndrome which the flu doesn't have. Seven months after recovering from covid I am still physically unable to work. Ten to twenty percent of those who get covid become long haulers. If the virus continues unabated eventually you will have this issue or you will know somebody who does.

Within the context of this convo it’s very clear or did you really think I was comparing covid to a chimney? acknowledge your mistake please
