I posted a clearly marked vanity thread with this question:

There seems to be a belief that the Corona virus is "no worse" than the flu. Or that the flu is MORE deadly. Or that the flu has killed more so therefore the corona virus is overhyped.

If you think that's true then answer this simple question:

Why have the governments of ALL countries affected taken extreme steps to stop it's spread?

Why did the US ban flights from China? Why is Italy cutting off entire towns to stop its spread? Why did Japan close all schools for a month? Why has Israel essentially shut down travel?

Understand that countries are doing things that are unprecedented in modern times to try and stop this. If it's NOT a big deal why are they essentially shutting down their economies (China, South Korea, Japan etc) to try and deal with this?

Just answer the question...WHY are government treating it LIKE it's extremely dangerous IF it's no worse than the flu?

Of course nobody could answer the question and the thread got yanked with the reason of "counterproductive".

I think it's a fair question. If people are OF THE OPINION that it's overhyped and no worse than the flu then WHY are they allowed to propagate that question?

We have enough infighting without you contributing another vanity thread to the mix.

"I posted a clearly marked vanity thread with this question:"

There are plenty of threads about this topic on which you could post your question. A vanity is not justified.

I keep seeing this phenomenon where freepers think they have a thought so profound about a topic well covered they just have to post a vanity. They don't.
