sorry man i didnt realize you are/had married someone ugly. i didnt mean anything by it for you, in fact i typically pay you less than zero regard, only remembering you when you are in front of my face (since you are always saying the same thing in the very same tone etc, encountering you is almost like encountering an inanimate object).

If it's any consolation, it wouldn't cause me any pain to never hear a word from you again, so resolution is as easy as inaction from my pov. Or did you want something from me...?

If you think our general response to covid broadly makes sense (IE; masking, social distancing, limits on indoor occupancy etc..), you must also believe we should do the same things, but a bit less, for the flu.

Should we take these same measures during a bad flu season, but a bit less? To be consistent with your own argument, you should answer yes.

Covid is more deadly to old people than the flu, however it is *less* deadly to the young and healthy than the flu. So it's worse on the whole, yes, but not by a lot.

Let's say a bad flu season is 80 deadly points, and covid19 is 100 deadly points, should we not then take the same precautions for the flu, but 20% less?

The fact is nobody has even remotely dreamed of taking such drastic measures even during the worst flu season. At best you get "Heyyyy watch out, bad flu goin around." and everyone just continues living their lives.

Nobody ever has a coherent answer to this question, which is why I keep raising it.

And hospitals have never been so over whelmed before from what is being related to the flu in your post.

Lets watch people dying while gasping for air. Is this not dramatic enough to get peoples attention this could be a problem to you?

Hospitals have not even remotely been overwhelmed by covid patients. I understand that was a concern at the beginning, but then it didn't turn out to be true. Remember that big fancy navy boat with the big red cross on it that trump brought into NYC? It was barely used. Also the makeshift field hospitals were barely used. Also most people, even if they *do* get hospitalized, don't die.

Tons of people get hospitalized and die from the flu, every year. Why are we not on a quest to eliminate that? You utterly dodged every question I raised.

Flu patients don't clog up the critical care units as much as covid. That's what they mean by overwhelmed.

Lol, great retort. No I am not either of those people. I also can't help but notice you didn't respond to a single thing I said. You did the typical "shit out a buzzword and bail" move. Misinformation, ah yes, care to explain how anything I said is even remotely "misinformation"?
