Still, ultimately, just the flu, bro. In the manner a lion is just another cat.
Not as bad as 1918, thank God, but clearly worse than the last several flus we've seen.
And no, we wouldn't look like Mad Max if we had reacted to it as to any other flu.
Something else to which I object vociferously is certainty. I have long ago learned that anyone who is absolutely certain about something is probably being foolish. Wiser people tend to speak in probabilities and likelihoods, not absolutes.
I think enough evidence is in to show it wouldn't be like Mad Max, but I don't think enough evidence is in that it wouldn't be like Typhoid Mary. I think that evidence is coming in, but people shouldn't jump the gun.
Oh, and by the way, I am at a low risk for infection, and a low risk of death if I get infected. This isn't really about me, or any personal fear on my part.
Something else to which I object vociferously is certainty. Me too. And the fearbros are certain that the derps are telling them the truth re: 'the science'.
They are not.

Let me counter that by saying, that I'm probably the number one demographic for high risk from the rona (for reasons I will not go into). If I were to get one molecule of ANY flu in me, I'd probly go down faster than Hillary on Huma. And yet I still speak out against the societally destructive reaction of our derps and derp enablers, aka Fearbros.
Ponder that for a moment.
