REGARDING:
“There is really no vaccine for the flu but only a shot to lessen it . Flu is a virus just like AIDS for which there is no cure. Viruses have to run their course.”
There ARE vaccines for the different mutations of flu viruses. They DO protect from infections caused by flu viruses. Rabies vaccine PREVENTS rabies. caused by virus; not let it run its course. Polio vaccine, the same. There is no “running their course.” That way leads to many deaths.
From: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/keyfacts.htm
“While influenza vaccine varies in how well it works, every season influenza vaccines PREVENT millions of influenza illnesses, tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths.”
Of course you may think CDC is “Fake News” if you wish.
David for those working on vaccines
There is really no vaccine for the flu but only a shot to lessen it . Flu is a virus just like AIDS for which there is no cure. Viruses have to run their course. The point is shutting the economy down will only make things worse. Just like the flu some will get it some won’t, some will die most won’t. There will be more coming in the future, so should we shutdown everytime ? You shut down an economy for too long then there is a tippimg point to which there is no recovery. But ya’ll just keep being sheep and let me know how that works out for you.
TR Sport: In regard to the death statistics of previous years. The reason that heart disease and cancer deaths are higher than our yearly influenza totals is that we have a vaccine for the flu. As you know, there isn’t a vaccine for Covid-19, therefore making it a much more lethal killer.
Dennis I agree with you however I don’t with Anne. Check the death statistics for 2017 and 2018 in America and you will see that heart disease and cancer deaths are extremely higher than this flu virus we have now. In your view should we shut down the economy for that. I’ve never had a flu shot in my life and I have driven back and forth to Wa. Mt. Canada and all the states in between for the last 3 months. Did you know that Wy. doesn’t have a single death? What I see is Americans have been fed a load of nonsense and like sheep we get corralled around. Like I tell everyone if where you came from is so great, then go back.
Our Health Department should start taking statistically accurate samples. The basis of statistics is a true random sample. If that were done weekly, then we could establish trends and determine (within a small percentage) how many people in the county are ill with this virus.
The shotgun approach being used at all levels of our governments is wrong and doesn’t provide meaningful data. We are destroying the economy based on meaningless data.
I am from NZ where the quarantine has been taken seriously. Only food stores. Chemist and ONLY essential services . No children in Supermarkets, only one person shopping. NO furniture stores, liquor stores, fast food, restaurants open. They have had only ONE DEATH out of 5 million. The USA needs to get serious otherwise this virus will take longer to stamp out
