They got the flu. Everyone gets the flu. Sometimes twice. This strain of the flu happens to be particularly potent. We need to own the language on this. COVID sounds nasty and deadly. The flu, which is a coronavirus, is something that happens every year. So tired of the hyperbole.

“The flu, which is a coronavirus...”

From mayoclinic.org:

COVID-19 and the flu are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, while influenza is caused by influenza A and B viruses.

Corona Virus is not the normal flu. In the past it was not transmissible to humans.

But the flu can be more deadly than what we are calling the Covid19 virus.

This is NOT about public health, it is about a Globalist Agenda.

Lies don’t stack well, the pieces never fit.

Corona viruses are cold viruses. There are also Rhino viruses that are cold viruses.

Flu viruses are influenza viruses.

So if you want to “own the the language on this” (which I agree with) it really helps to use the correct words.

No the flu is not a corona virus - it is an influenza virus.

So tired of the morons posting crap they don't understand.
