That's some angry FluBro math right there.

No anger at all, just the facts.

It doesn't even begin to make sense, though. Really a foolish argument right from the get go.

The facts, and figures I provided, show that less, no make it way less, than 1 percent of the nation has been infected so far by CoVid-19, and an even smaller percentage of less than 1 percent has succumbed. Even when we look at the worldwide numbers, they too represent that less than 1 percent have been confirmed infected, and even smaller percentage of less than 1 percent have succumbed to CoVid-19.

When we look at the flu, in just this current season, we see the numbers of hospitalized, hospitalized means they were very serious cases of flu, are larger than the confirmed for CoVid-19, percentage wise. The same holds true for deaths by flu vs CoVid-19, the percentage of deaths from the flu, in just this country, far exceeds the deaths from CoVid-19 worldwide.

No hysteria and panic generated for the flu, which is thus far much deadlier than CoVid-19.

I looked at your site, but I will not bother to examine it, but I will gladly listen to your argument. Not that I really care what Britain's rational for their response is to CoVid-19. Present your case.

Regardless, it still does not change the fact that the flu has been far more deadly, at least to this point. Only time will tell if that remains the case or not. But we sure see how devastating the panic has been, not only to this country, but to the world. I will weather this economically, but it's others who won't that I am concerned for.

So go ahead and try to convince me that this is far worse than the flu and justifies so much panic and severe draconian measures. I'm not going to do your research for you, especially since you are so obviously well informed by this site. I am more than willing to listen to your argument though.

Oh, as for being a flu-bro, I have no clue what the even means. You can explain that too if you decide to engage in further debate.

“You can explain that too if you decide to engage in further debate.”

That would be like debating with the old lady down the street, trying to convince her that she’s not the cousin of Queen Elizabeth and is not in line to inherit the throne. It’s fruitless.

Hey Robert, the flu has been endemic in the world since humans were created. Some strains are worse than others (Spanish Flu) and the various H1N1 strains that we see. Humans are accustomed to losing loved ones to the flu. It’s part of life. Vaccines exist to combat this ancient illness.

This virus arrives, it is new, and most likely made by Chinese bioweapons researchers in Wuhan using CRISPR technology that they have appropriated from the West. Our societal norms of genetics are not applicable this time, as a China doesn’t subscribe to our code of decency. That is one of the West’s greatest failings, we pretend that our thought process is superior and that all other cultures want to be like us.

No. All other cultures want to destroy us, simply because we succeed and give our citizens God given rights. This is antithetical to Eastern thoughts.

Trying to equate the arrival of this new pathogen to an ancient and endemic one is exactly what our enemy requires for success. Please, go about life as normal while their weapon renders and decimates our society and economy, while the enemy who deployed this weapon continues its quarantine to emerge unscathed. They count on us to be selfish and only worry about money - after all, it is our desire to hoard our money that makes us buy the cheap crap which they produce for us.

Sun Tzu is the guiding principle of Chinese thought. This is merely the current manifestation.
