Besides most of your vacuous flu broism rant, one thing caught my eye. It reflects the complete lack of understanding of this virus progression.

Besides it is not good for your immune system to become stressed.

Do you understand this?

Immunity will not protect you from your immune system.

You wonder why people see flu bros as suicide bombers.

I’m wondering why the arcane STEM discussions in this thread are perceived as ‘stressed’.

If this sort of stuff stresses him he’d drop dead in medical or grad school.

I fail to understand how data points are ‘stressful’.

Okay so if I am understanding correctly flubro means that I think CoVid-19 is a flu. Well I am not a flubro, as it is not a flu because the virus is not a member of the Influenza family, whereas, this virus is of the Coronaviridae family of viruses. Though it does indeed have the same symptoms, and is therefore flu like in many respects. Flu viruses lessen in intensity when warmer weather starts to take over a hemisphere. Will this be the case with this virus? No one knows yet, but there is an abundance of speculation on both sides of the argument. Only time will answer that question.

While I understand some peoples immune system overreacts to an invader, be it virus or bacteria, attacking their body. That is an overreaction by that person's immune system. Their immune system could be healthy or compromised for that to occur. At this point in time what causes this is not fully understood, and this happens in a very small percentage of people. Immunity will however, go through several steps to protect your body from invading viruses and bacteria, including this virus. We already have proof of this with 101,186 or 27.1% of confirmed cases so far worldwide. When your system fails to combat an invader, scientists who study these things work to develop something that will help in combating the invading entity.

Now show me where hysteria and panic ever solved a virus or bacteria. In fact just show me an instance where it has helped and not hurt more than the virus or bacteria itself.

I am not here giving my advice regarding this virus, like everyone else, I know no more than do they. I am here trying to combat this unwarranted hysteria and panic regarding this virus. For we can all see the collateral damage it is doing to the financial well being of this country, as well as, other countries. We are now into the 5th month, according to many sources, since determination has been made that it started in November, not December of 2019.

So looking at flu & CoVid side-by-side gives us some insight since they have been at work for about the same length of time now.

My comparison to the flu is not to show how this virus will react. I do it to show that so far it has been less infectious and less fatal than the flu. While the flu season is October thru May, most cases are contracted from December through April, and those are the most destructive months as well. Yet there is no hysteria and panic being generated over the flu, even though it has shown so far to be more infectious and deadly than the CoVid-19 virus.

But I want you to really show me where hysteria and panic has ever helped any situation, not just viral or bacterial situations.

You all really need to calm down, because you are helping the situation in no way whatsoever. In fact you are causing other problems that will have negative affects on those infected, as well as, those who will never become infected, or at least will never exhibit signs of their being infected.

Now am I wrong in trying to do what I am trying to do? I am not telling you to ignore this virus, I am trying to put perspective to it in relation to the flu to calm hysteria and panic. If you want to fault me for that, then so be it. But you are bringing nothing, nada, nichts, zip, useful to this problem. The best thing you can do is stop with the hysteria and panic. If that is too much for you, then I really feel sorry for you and your selfish behavior.
