Another difference...the common flu cannot be spread via droplets entering the eye membrane.

BS: Are you getting paid for your bs and ignorant comments:

Common flu can enter your eye mucus membranes (harder to enter those...but it is just like your other mucus membranes...don’t rub eyes w/o washing/sanitizing hands 1st). Also, all viruses can be both “droplet” and “aerosolized”.

Yep and it works as a good excuse for the severe economic slowdown they are already in.

Aerosol. Excuse me, Grumpa.

Treating the typical flu doesn’t usually require protective eyewear.

Are you getting paid to be rude, or do you do that for free?

Great news! Homeland Virus cops are coming to lock you and your family up!

It is amazing how many so called conservatives want the Feds to take over our lives due to this so called emergency.

That type of bs is how we ended up with Homeland Security and TSA. They make air travel miserable 24/7, and probably have eliminated zero air tragedies.

If you want Homeland Virus or whatever to be able to quarantine you and your family:

You are an idiot and not a conservative.

Then, to Mass Quarantinofornias !!!.. Sanctuary States in rapid decline!!!.. Norm’s Revenge

I used to appreciate your posts.

Please don’t post to me, anymore.

You seem to have gone off the rails.

You must be a government run health care advocate if you can see no difference between the care we have vs what the world has.
