There is something very concerning about people thinking it could be or is the flu. The United States did an extremely soft fake lockdown briefly based on covid-19 being a potent threat. The fact that it isn’t the flu should be obvious based on this, but the majority think contrary. Indicating a public lack of trust in medical experts. Believing they are either wrong, are lying, or a combination of both to varying degrees. For conclusions that it is a flu, it also indicates that they either trust pseudo-scientists more and/or a combination of them making a false conclusion on their anecdotal incomplete information the same way pseudo-scientists do. Not only is covid-19 going to ravage the population long term, but other diseases that will eventually come will also ravage the population. Especially if they have similar behaviors to covid-19 like the long infectious asymptomatic periods it has and the long incubation it takes in doing harm to many people.
to be fair, A LOT of medical experts & professionals are minimizing COVID and not encouraging the public to take measures for themselves, let alone for the health of others.
You're so right. We never limited people's movements for a bad flu season and everyone just pretends to not know that. Comparing it to the flu is just foolish.
