I see a lot of guys young and old wearing masks.
Kind of sad.
In the 2017-2018 flu season approximately 80,000 people died of influenza! It can be said, these vaccines are very unreliable. I don’t waste my time with them.
Implied in you post is the fact that those receiving the shot died. That fact isn’t in evidence. Also, it is more likely that those who died did not get the shot.
I never get a flu shot. I take massive doses of D3
#OUAN Open up America Now!!
....”I noticed a major uptick in drivers heading to work this morning. People are figuring this out for themselves.”....
Same here, though questionable if they’re going to work they’re certainly moving about more. Lowe’s and Home Dept remain open here and folks are continuing to do home projects at this time. But even with this I think people are willing to risk the virus because they know the hospitals here are not overrun and few cases.....population 13,500.. 143 confirmed cases with just 11 hospitalized....4 deaths...
60K projected deaths divided by 350 million of us means a .00017% chance that the average person will die of this.
Flu vaccines are tricky because flu viruses mutate quite a lot.
Ahead of the upcoming flu season they take an educated guess on what the predominant strain(s) will look like.
As often as not they are wrong.
Hmmm....experts getting something wrong, where have we seen this before?
We should give the all clear on May 1st. Cruises and sports events will be last to return. (June 1st?)
As I’ve said before, I think people will determine themselves how and what they will do to protect themselves and weather this time as they take into consideration the degree of the risk for themselves and their families.
I choose to ‘shelter in place’ these past couple weeks as things began to perculate in my ‘state’. However my community hosptials were well prepared and few cases actually needing hospitalization. I think people are more comfortable that if they get this virus there are options for treatment and if needed hospital care.
I also think people living solo, especially the aged, are better off not taking a risk in this heightned state of the spread of covid.
I think it’ll be part of our flu shots by next year.
I’m actually his granny, but that was an awesome compliment! Lol. Thanks!
Everyone will react differently based on their personal experience.
If they know someone who got seriously ill due to the disease they will be very cautious.
If they don’t, they may well return to normal activities.
At the end of the day, the virus is not _real_ unless you have personal knowledge of its effects.
This America in 1941 would have had Japan and Germany slicing America in half turning it into a carcass.
If the Soviet Union knew then during the Cold War what the Chicoms know now,they very well may have tried a biological attack.
Maybe even Bin Laden would try such an attack with 1900 infected.
How many Americans realize that total Coronavirus deaths are still 20758 short of the 2019-2020 season flu deaths, which nobody is panicking about?

Crap! I had a 50-50 chance and I blew it! LOL!
You’re a good Grandma!:)
. . . and “the media” will drag that out as long as possible."To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
To a journalcrat, everything either looks like a crisis, or too much prudence is being exercised to keep it from looking like a crisis.
