Disagree. The virus exposed many already failing businesses like the ones you see on TV show restaurant impossible, and expedited the inevitable. This will allow other already successful businesses like Chick Fil A to further prosper.Unfortunately, the large growth of the diseased means that the quarantine will last for more than one month. Many of my acquaintances now have most of their worries about finding a job. Because of the virus, many businesses are closing down. Unfortunately, there are not so many professions that would remain stable now.
I have had it, and was much sicker than I have ever been from the flu. My mother works on our local covid ward in the hospital, this is nothing like a flu. Not even remotely.Disagree.

I have a family member who had it, recovered and said they had been much sicker from the flu in past years.
If only that were the case for everyone.I have a family member who had it, recovered and said they had been much sicker from the flu in past years.

Even before you get to those who become seriously ill or sadly die, there are many who have it much worse than any flu they’ve ever had (as demonstrated by Lee who can sadly speak from experience) and some who still live with the effects of the virus long after they get better.
Perhaps for you, but this demonstrates symptoms definitely vary greatly! Most people recover at home.this is nothing like a flu. Not even remotely.
Not disputing that, im telling you that medically it is nothing close to similar to the flu. Regardless of recovery rates etc, this isn't something you want to take a chance with.Perhaps for you, but this demonstrates symptoms definitely vary greatly! Most people recover at home.
Anyone working in a Covid Ward, obviously never sees all the people that easily recovered at home , I would fully expect that would be impactful.
I must have missed the post where someone said it was medically similar to the flu.medically it is nothing close to similar to the flu. this isn't something you want to take a chance with.
Most people don't try to get sick. It just happens. When you play a slot machine, that is chance.this isn't something you want to take a chance with.
Are we only supposed to hear feedback from people who had a bad experience? If someone says they've been sicker from the flu in the past,, that is that person's experience which cannot be discounted. I would assume a normal person would only be able to compare it to their own past experiences.Almost like it's not worth comparing it to the flu.
Something these figures don't capture is the hospitalization rate. The Flu hospitalization rate are a fraction of COVID-19.Let me summarise the flu vs COVID numbers for comparison:
The numbers show quite clearly just how serious COVID is.
- 2017 was 0.47% case fatality rate from flu
- 2019 was 0.29% case fatality rate from flu
- 2020 was 0.17% case fatality rate from flu
- 2020 we're currently at 3.29% case fatality rate from COVID-19
I would speculate that the hospitalization rate for COVID-19 is much longer and higher because it's a novel virus without a vaccination. That said, one could be an asymptomatic dumbass and become a superspreader; therefore, it's best to quarantine them. On the other hand, when one has the flu, they just stay home because, well, they are a lot sicker than had they had COVID in more cases.The Flu hospitalization rate are a fraction of COVID-19.
