COVID is just like the flu.

[Penelope]

Wow, what a miracle!

Not really. Lower flu cases comes as a direct result of less social interaction and safety measures taken when people are in public. The things that prevented COVID from being far worse. The things conservatives referred to as infringements on their freedom. What the exact numbers would have looked like if Trump's top adviser, Scott Atlas, had his way are obviously hard to determine. But we can say there would be millions dead not hundreds of thousands.

Over 85% of those who contracted covid were masks, practiced social distancing and washed their hands. This years flu must only spread in restaurants,,gyms, sporting events and gathers of over 10 people.

Remember when that was one of the WH talking points in the early stages of the pandemic? No reason to panic. COVID will go away when the weather gets warm. It's all under control.

Turns out, they were wrong..........in too many ways to discuss. One of the more demonstrably provable things they were wrong about was the comparison to the flu.

We wiped out the flu this year. Could we do it again?

That's what happens to influenza type viruses when people wear masks and practice social distancing. Unfortunately, COVID is a highly transmissible virus. More so than the regular flu.

The point being the COVID protocols dismissed as ineffective, infringements on freedom, a waste of time by conservatives.........they work. And if we had not implemented them, if we had not locked down the economy for a while, the infection rate and death toll would be far worse than it is.

Covid is just like the flu for most people.

I bet if you gave antibody tests to every American we would find an infection rate in excess of 80%
Do you know what that would do to your precious death rate?
And don't you find it odd that we only had a handful of actual flu cases? It's like covid cured all diseases.

You people are gullible as fuck

Its way past even gullibility......its like the Pied Piper syndrome.

Did people lie like tramp?

Again, may want to sit down. Your ilk spent waaaay more time lying about how Trump lied than he ever came close to actually lying. Maybe take a Midol.

Amazing isn’t it? All we had to do to eliminate the flu and other illnesses is call them COVID cases. The flu didn’t go anywhere dumbass. It was just renamed to keep clowns like you scared.

It wasn't renamed covid, silly one!!!

Flu tests are a dime a dozen, and with instant results. It was done on all suspect covid patients as the first step.... covid tests were not readily available and take a much longer time than a influenza test... the flu was ruled out, via flu testing before a covid test was given to someone sick...is what I have read on it.

Yes, yes he is.....Gullible and chronically dishonest.

The understatement of the year.

Wow, what a miracle! The superintelligent and concerned about Americans left magically did away with the flu....totally wiped it out along with pneumonia in one year! Why, by forcing facediaper wearing and coming up with never before heard of hand washing they brought about this miracle! But wait.....with all this isolation and shutdown and miracle inventiveness, how could people NOT get flu or pneumonia but so easily catch the leftyvirus? It truly boggles the mind.

It's halarious to watch ignorant politicos try to use sarcasm while posting their tripe.

Covid is a NOVEL VIRUS that we didn't get vaccinated for and have not built up some immunity to like the A/B Influenza. Therefore, given same precautions Covid will be more contagious in the populations, and thats aside from the properties of the virus that make it hang around in the air longer.

All the precautions we use for Covid are effective at halting less contagious flu spread and indicates just how bad Covid pandemic could have been without such practices. It's not rocket science, but seems to be hard to understand for politicos emotionally invested in not beliving it.

They are indeed way past fuck in gullibility. They are so fucking braindead they seem to actually think covid cured the flu the fact the yearly flu virus was seldom ever mentioned in hospitals around the country as causing deaths this past year..oh and for thedead brain sheep shills like America hater 4 all,these are not my words,these are words of many doctors around the country reporting this.

I suspect you should do some more studying on flu testing and massive changes to flu numbers.

"most people"...well I guess that makes 150 million Americans possibly not "most Americans", and half a million dead in America from Covid already? Meh, whatever, they are just "small percentage, not most" so it doesn't really count.

You would lose your bet, we are nowhere near 80% in any population testing administered.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

So lets see here. Covid raged on while everyone was wearing a mask but the flu took the year off. Yeah, makes perfect sense.

But...but....they read it in a CNN article....Fauci said so then didn't then did again....

 

[LordBrownTrout]

How many flu tests were given? Thats the only thing missing and probably the most important.

You need to quit using logic and just breathe in the fantasy dust.

unfortunately, led by the orange idiot, the brainwashed functional moron Republican base made wearing a mask etc a political question so we got five times as many deaths as anywhere else. Great job GOP as always....

Yep - masking, social distancing and other mitigation has kept the flu at record lows this season. Also, more people than ever got a flu shot.

The number of people who die each year from flu-related causes in the U.S. is 8,200 to 20,000. SOURCE: Centers for Disease Control.

Nope, COVID ain't the flu

United States
Coronavirus Cases:
29,530,165
Deaths:
533,693
Recovered:
20,094,790

I understand why Trumpleton's want to obfuscate the empirical data proving their attitudes and beliefs about COVID to be 100% wrong. That doesn't make it any less stunning.
