It's worse than Coronavirus
We survived Yersinia Pestis in a time where people didnt bathe
You'll be fine
Most of you
so you're saying corona deathrate is below 0.1%, or you're saying that the flu affects elderly even more proportionately than corona - or you're just ASSUMING that people aren't gonna get infected despite the insistence of medical professionals that we are now in a delay phase and likely past possible containment @ETBrooD @Malac
@Greasy I'm saying it's not of great lethality. It'll simply become another flu
also "people weren't shook by flu" - people are PLENTY shook by flu. it's just a fact of life 'now' though, so we deal with it and have reasonable immunity to dying from it. @ETBrooD
@Greasy You have genetic resistance and the virus doesnt want to be lethal
Viruses dont want to be lethal
People are so unshook by the flu that they barely cared when the flu killed way more people last year than before
But now coronavirus ohhh everyone's panicking
@Malac that's why I am saying you're stupid. you seem to understand that it's serious - yet you're in here like "lmao you won't die it's a nothing". there's a reasonable risk, understand that. Also I've seen you posting this bullshit post-evolutionary take on virus lethalities - sure, it's a poor evolutionary strategy to kill the host. that does not mean the virus will evolve in that way - it means the lethal strains will kill their hosts. brain activated.
All the clorox in the world wont save you from infection
@Greasy Yes. And without a host to propogate the lethal strains die out
The risk is negligible. Some people will die until when the vaccine comes out, as it always happens.

https://twitter.com/euronews/status/1235899527791611905 now they say this
not a week ago, not a month ago, now
There is no reasonable risk, unless you're a boomer or have shit health
@ETBrooD 100% the news reports on the flu death rates every year, people make sure to take some precautions. as I said, it's accepted as a fact of life to some degree, but it definitely still worries people and to say it doesn't is a pointless lie.
It's evolution by selection
@Greasy No people don't take precautions. Most don't vaccinate, and many keep going to work.
Keep in mine viral reproduction is measured in seconds
People do not care about the flu, have never cared, and will never care. They're blind to the obvious reality that the flu kills people. They're stupid and uninformed.
They have several generations in the span of a day
ok @ETBrooD I will ignore your messages in future, thanks for the warning
Viral and bacterial disease are still minority causes of death
People are extremely resilent
We may be sacks of proteinaceous water but animals didnt survive as long as we have without being tough
All these people who keep going to work unvaccinated when they're sick from the flu, infecting others, who then also infect others, and no one bats an eye. But then ohhh coronavirus ohhh, run and hide!
I live in Appalachia
Flu shot has like 2% efficacy
I've been exposed to so many parasites, bacteria and viruses that father nurgle would have some trouble getting a blessing to take hold
the reason people do not vaccinate against the flu is very obvious. a) you vaccinate one type, you get another. b) you vaccinate this year, your "immunity" is worthless next year. c) the vaccine is often not effective against any flu in that season.
And yes I have had nematodes. No it isn't pleasant
@Greasy It's several strains in one shot, but it still isn't that effective
what do you mean "infection rate" of flu
