I haven't really heard anyone saying it's just the flu. Flu like symptoms, yes, but that's about it. We have plenty of therapeutics now and a better understanding of Covid which is probably why the death rate is still relatively low. Let's hope the next couple of weeks keep the death toll down or else the hospitals will be overrun like they were in April.

Moderna vaccine 94.5% effective. More good news:

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective, according to company data | CNN
The Moderna vaccine is 94.5% effective against coronavirus, according to early data released Monday by the company, making it the second vaccine in the United States to have a stunningly high success rate.

^^^^Yes! The smart people on television were saying that the Moderna vaccine is easier to get to the general public and that the Pfizer vaccine will probably be used in Hospitals and medical offices that are better prepared to keep it cold.
So Cuomo is going to sue President Trump over the possible vaccine distribution because the inner city poor will not have the same access to the new vaccine as the average American. Why? Well because private enterprise is going to release the vaccine. This means you go to Walgreens or CVS to get your shot and the poor do not have access. Why? Because they burned their Walgreens during the last BLM/ANTIFA rally. Great! Fuck em. Let them walk to the nearest pharmacy they forgot to raze to the ground.
I feel bad for people that didn’t partake in the riots and looting but they should take their anger to the voting booths and expel all local officials that represent them.

He experienced a severe reaction to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate. He’s still a believer

My brother’s friend died earlier this month from COVID in Portland, OR. He was 63, 100% healthy, an avid tennis player and mounting bike rider. Diagnosis: bad luck
I guess you don`t listen to your beloved orange one. Its on tape . He calls covid19 just another flu that will soon go away...that was about a month ago. You may also want to re-read some of the early comments on this thread when it was called just another bad cold by some posters who should have known better.
BTW anyone can get it and what is scary is that they don`t know how they got it. A wealthy doctor whom I know is in hospital with a serious case of cv19 and is being treated with the same medical cocktail that trump got.
So, one person, that you’ve heard on tape? That’s quite the list. As far as early comments on this thread, none of us knew how bad this was going to be. So I’ll pass on re-reading earlier comments. That would be foolish. We have two vaccines almost ready to go to the public because of Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed”. If you don’t want to take it, that’s fine to. More for us.
Odd that during the covid spike the flu cases dropped, one fuck of a lot.
Found this clip today....
At this point in last year's flu season, Canada had already recorded 711 positive cases of influenza.
So far this year, there have been just 17.
"Influenza is way behind the eight ball here," said Dr. Gerald Evans, chair of infectious disease in the department of medicine at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.

That is unfortunate. I texted my buddy in NYC today. He is 57, retired, in excellent shape, usually visits me for long weekends 2-3 times a year, typically built around big sports events. He reported to me today that he feels a little better than Sunday but is very fatigued. He is eating and drinking. Said he has been resting and watching a lot of Netflix. He mentioned 2 shows, "Medal of Honor" and "Unsolved Mysteries." He is living with his wife in NYC. Their daughter is away at grad school. The wife tested negative. She must be freaked out, being alone with a Covid positive person. But part of the marital vow is standing by your spouse in "sickness and in health", so she has to suck it up, I guess.
Why is it odd Sol T ? It should be quite logical.
People are taking precautions against catching Covid19 that also work well against catching influenza.

It was a pretty mild season saully in the lands down under. Well, not sure about Brazil. But Australia and New Zealand had mild flu seasons.

From Southern Hemisphere, Hints That U.S. May Be Spared Flu On Top Of COVID-19
So far this year, flu infections are way down in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists want to know why — and what it means for the Northern Hemisphere as their flu season looms.

Covid-19 Measures Have All but Wiped Out the Flu in the Southern Hemisphere
From Chile to South Africa to New Zealand, Southern Hemisphere nations report far lower numbers of flu cases, which they attribute to coronavirus precautions. The decline could be good news for the U.S. and Europe.

My brother’s friend worked in a senior position for a major corporation and had an excellent health insurance. He received basically the same treatment as Tramp did. He was improving and was discharged from the ICU. He talked to my brother 2 days before his death via WhatsApp and told him that he believes he is out of the woods. Then his lungs rapidly collapsed.
Gov. Newsom imposes new coronavirus restrictions after apologizing for breaking his own rules to attend party
California Gov. Newsom is being called a hypocrite for breaking his own coronavirus rules by attending a birthday party at an expensive restaurant earlier this month.
www.foxnews.com
We are going into lockdown again. I’ll do anything within my power to avoid large gatherings and wear my mask and keep my distance. I just have no confidence in the ruling class particularly in the Blue States. Why should we listen to them? They make all these proclamations and then violate nearly every rule that they make? Even R2D2 has to admit it. They’re a bunch of hypocrites. Nancy Pelosi was caught without a mask getting her hair done. She is hosting a dinner party for members of Congress. Lori Lightfoot, the Mayor of Chicago and Bill De blasio were out celebrating the election. They said that this spontaneous celebration was ok. Before this riots were ok. She also violated her order and was caught getting her hair done. She said she had to. She’s the mayor. Never mind she looks like the bride of Frankenstein. Gavin Newsome attended a birthday party in-doors in Napa Valley and just apologized and yet he has established some bizarre rules for Thanksgiving for everyone else? Even the Turkey has to be served with a mask on...Biden took his mask off to sneeze into his hand? WTF? Chuck Schumer was out celebrating. Anyone see the Dems passing around that bottles of champagne? California law makers travel to Hawaii. Whitmore’s husband used his wife’s name (Big Gretch) in order to take his boat out. Why is this ok? The riots were ok. WTF?

Why? Because people are saying no influenza because we are wearing masks etc. and at the same time saying the covid-19 spike is because we are not wearing masks etc. Think about that before you answer.
Nobody is saying "no influenza"... but less, yes. Also remember that covid is not the flu, and its rate of transmission is different. It's logical to assume that, like in Australia, masks and some degree of other precautions help lower the influenza rate.
Yea but saully, not disputing your point but in some of those countries like Australia and NZ they don’t have much covid either as well as no flu
Less, Canada going from 700 to 17 is a lot more than less.
Coronavirus lockdowns reduced FLU rates by nearly 90% in the US
A new CDC report found that positive flu test rates dropped from about 20% between September 2019 and February 2020 to 2.3% between March 2020 and May 2020 amid the pandemic.
My point is the same people hailing that masks made this possible also blame the spike in covid-19 to people not wearing masks.
