2017-2018 - 61,000 Deaths in the US from Influenza with NO masks or vaccines or lockdowns
2020-Present - 651,000 Deaths in the US from Covid with masks, vaccines, lockdowns, distancing, etc.
Even with those numbers being off think of the difference there and why one should be a little more push for the Covid vaccine.
If i had to choose between getting the flu and getting covid i will choose the flu every time. Would anyone choose differently?
It doesn't look like it will be, but it'd be nice.
I actually think all the contact tracing stuff would do it. If we had zero tolerance for colds and flues -- we quarantine everyone who gets them and their contacts -- we'd end up at close to zero cases, and close to zero actual quarantines.
I actually think steady-state, we'd need fewer quarantines than the number of people flu kills. Flues kill 60k per season. I think 60k quarantines would be more than adequate for containing it.
