No test for any disease has ever been 100% accurate. You’re applying an impossible standard.
No vaccine has ever been produced that’s 100% effective. You’re applying an impossible standard.
It’s been low so far, but beginning to pick up. Again, if you look at when flu seasons have peaked, it’s sometimes December, sometimes January, sometimes February. Rarely is it as early as November.
Every flu season is different. If we get to May and there’s been minimal flu activity, THAT we could call unusual. But low flu activity now? Pretty normal stuff.
[[Of course they matter! ]]
Absolutely they do! Many, most of these folks grew up working very hard for oth themselves and this nation, and just because they can’t do the thi go they used to doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to live out the rest of their lives w dignity and security. Infact, they are actually more deserving than many of the scum that are running g around this country burning it to the ground, and beating the stuffing out of elderly folks,and destroying our history and peoples businesses. I’m not suggesting that the scum don’t deserve to be safe of course, b ut just that the elderly are far finer citizens than those that hate and destroy this nation.
folks, a lot of folks view the elderly as burdens,, as expenses. Even ben Carson of all people advocated for the infamous death panels, suggesting that critical care be doled out on a basis of younger healthier people verses older because younger folks would contribute more to the nation apparently, ignoring g the fact that the elderly already did contribute fzr more than. Many today do or will in their lifetime, because goals have shifted in recent years.
I know that generalized too much, but the elderly today, are e generation by and large that. Built this nation from the ground up. Today’s gen, by and large, are taking what has already been built and running with it. I guess th re pointvbri g, both Aaron’s are s equally important, just in different ways, and both need to be cited when th re y are older and can’t take care of themselves e s like they used to.
I just find it very sad when the younger gen says pass on them, they a r e nothing but burdens, and not our responsibilities, after all the older gen did to pave the way so that the younger generation could enjoy a better life while young and healthy
Sorry, end of rant
Whether true or not i dunno, but they are claiming hygienic increases are preventi g regular flu numbers from increasing, decreasing cases, plus the fact that half the country liberals, are paranoid now about being in the presence of others.
Not sure what flu numbers are, b ut it could be playing a role in decreasing d cases I guess?
It’s possible that changes in our behavior are having some impact on flu’s ability to spread, but we’re still well within the normal range of activity for flu. I honestly don’t think we can make a real judgement about whether this is going to be a bad flu season or a gentle one until we’re into February.
Agreed- where we are, rural area, we don’t usually get the flu till well after the cities do, usually into Jan/Feb or so after everyone else in larger areas has already recovered really
Why do you think I said I would not take it for at a minimum 90 days.
My right, my body, my choice.
