Even if there isn’t another type of corona/SARS to deal with everything we’ve been doing to combat the killer COVID would also work against Flu (and people are more likely to be sneezing and having nasal drip and coughs etc in flu season).

Or are people going to be told “go home!” at their first sustained cough (more than 2 incidents of coughing in an hour)?

And at work they tell people “ if you are sick, STAY HOME”.

Good advice; early March right before all the restrictions, some idiot came to work with a sore throat, and yup, gave it to me and who knows how many other people.

True enough. That's why we were created with an IMMUNE SYSTEM.
