So is this a routine thing every flu season?
Can the esteemed Allen < facts matter, Wiggins et al, please elaborate?

This is not the flu. But some people will never understand.
Nice to see this thread going NOWHERE as predicted.
I agree that covid-19 is dangerous, but panic from people can be also very dangerous. So you shouldn't worry so much, just follow all requirements from your governments. Personally I recently read about coronavirus in italy with statistics from https://monitorcovid19.com/italy/ and it is really terrible!
I haven't read this whole thread, but I think I agree with the title. I would also add to it that most people aren't just easily manipulated, but seem to be incapable of critical thought.
As far as "facts" go, we have a new disease that we're trying to deal with. It's a bad situation and pretty much any action or inaction will have both positive and negative impacts.
You have people protesting that we need to open things up, and on the other side, you have workers going on strike because their factories haven't been closed down or made safe.
There will be pain if we open things up and pain if we continue to lock things down. It's unavoidable.
I lean towards more the libertarian side in this matter. I'd like to see things opened up and trust that most people have learned enough in the past two months to take appropriate precautions. Or even opening up with additional regulation on spacing, masks, etc. That's what we're trying in Colorado. We'll see how it works. FWIW, I think Gov Polis has been one of the more rational leaders during this whole thing.
The thing is, this isn't a "new disease". It is a normal respiratory virus. It is the third "novel" viral epidemic this year. One of many over the last decade, etc.. This is not a new Black Plague.

I'm not really sure what your point is.
Obviously the three novel coronaviruses got together with some lefty journalists at a media lab in China and concocted the perfect disease to create bad publicity for trump.
I think Facts Matter should go after those sensationalizers & manipulators no matter the risk to his personal safety! Miss you, babe! Mean it!
Congrats to the OP. Subject line is a concise description of the last 3 years.
Allen53 was everything DanM wishes he could be. RIP.
Sounds like Trump's wishful thinking about six weeks before COVID really started go get going in mid-March 2020.
or the media's idea of 2 weeks to flatten the curve
