I've been asking this question for a while now.

100 thousand people can die of the flu and we don’t bat an eye. No measures are taken. Nothing is done. It’s barely discussed. But the attitude towards COVID is that no amount of death is tolerable. No risk is acceptable. This simply makes no sense at all.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) July 30, 2021

Why aren't those who are concerned over COVID previously showing the same level of concern over flu? You weren't urging people to get flu vaccines, wear masks or social distance.

If your standards don't apply to everything, you're a hypocrite. End of story.

We're clearly a country of half truths, stereotypes and hysteria.

No it's not....not for normal people. Far more kids die of the flu than Covid. The Flu affects everyone almost equally, whereas Covid targets the people who we know should quarantine themselves away until natural herd immunity is achieved or they get vaccinated.

Without vaccines, COVID is significantly worse.
That really isn't a valid argument about kids. So what?
The flu does not, in fact, target everyone almost equally. About 90 percent of flu deaths are in people over 65.

We need something like a virus severity rating sort of like we have rating agencies for commercial and government debt and credit, just so these types of decisions aren't so arbitrary.

At least we'd have something to go off of to reference to serve as something of a predefined standardized decision rule everyone, or at least most people, can agree to ahead of time i.e. if it is currently rated as a disease with severity " X " then these types of interventions automatically go into effect, if it gets "downgraded" you stop doing said interventions then let competition take care of the finer details of what goes into how the disease actually gets its specific severity rating

---

Why? So the virus' severity can be manipulated like credit ratings? We have had such a system in place for years now and starts with how many cycles you use on a pcr test.

I suspect it is because it is novel.

Imagine if we introduced a technology that would allow rapid point-to-point transportation but we said it would kill about 30,000 people per year. A lot of folks would not sign up for it, but we get in our cars on a daily basis.

I can't find specific numbers quickly, but I suspect that the risks associated with COVID for vaccinated individuals are a most on par and likely somewhat less than those associated with the flu.

We are in a different phase, but not what some public health officials think. The vaccines make COVID only slightly more important as a public health issue in the United States than polio. Get the vaccination rates up and we will not have overrun hospitals anywhere. For the vaccinated, COVID tends to not be as bad as a case of the flu. It'a time to be done with this talk of "more restrictions" and "lockdowns."

We have means to mitigate the flu. Don't you wash your hands? Cover your cough? We also have flu vaccines, though not as effective as these COVID vaccines have been, they do provide significant protection. If we get a flu strain that does what COVID did, there would likely be more mitigation measures taken.

I've been asking this question for a while now.

100 thousand people can die of the flu and we don’t bat an eye. No measures are taken. Nothing is done. It’s barely discussed. But the attitude towards COVID is that no amount of death is tolerable. No risk is acceptable. This simply makes no sense at all.

Why aren't those who are concerned over COVID previously showing the same level of concern over flu? You weren't urging people to get flu vaccines, wear masks or social distance.

If your standards don't apply to everything, you're a hypocrite. End of story.

We're clearly a country of half truths, stereotypes and hysteria.

---

Because Covid is worse?

---

Both are bad and kill, so why not apply the same procedures?

If not, why doesn't it apply to flu which was killing tens of thousands annually?

---

Tens of thousands as opposed to hundreds of thousands, and probably more without mitigation.

---

So mitigation only applies to a certain number of deaths.

Do you not realize how insane that is?

We dropped flu deaths down tremendously last year with Covid mitigation, why not keep them permanently?

It it worse after you have been vaccinated?

Not for the individual, as of now. It remains a bigger public health concern than seasonal flu, and we don't know what will happen as it mutates.

File this under: department of silver linings. While you are probably already experiencing severe mask fatigue, and the thought of having to cover up for months (years?) to come is as exhausting as it is unavoidable, there is an extra health benefit you may not have anticipated. Yep, masks might help protect you against some of the health risks of exposure to air pollution.

By now, you know that masks slow the spread of the coronavirus. But the novel coronavirus isn't the only life-threatening element floating through your air. According to the American Lung Association, exposure to air pollution is associated with respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular disease, and even premature death.

The list of conditions and illnesses that have been linked to air pollution is excruciatingly long. For starters, that list includes asthma, lung cancer, and low infant birth weight. But, it turns out that masks actually offer some measure of protection. (Btw: Did you know masks can also help protect against the flu?)

How beneficial is the average mask and are all types equally effective against pollution? Richard Peltier, associate professor of environmental health science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, breaks it down.

Do masksN95s, surgical masks and cloth masksprotect us from pollution as well as COVID-19?
Peltier: If we're just talking about what we call ambient air pollution that's the stuff that comes out of factories and the tailpipes of cars and trucks the answer is yes. When you're wearing an N95 mask (or a KN95 mask, which is the Chinese equivalent), it actually does protect you from that kind of exposure. Those masks do a pretty good job of filtering out the smallest particles.
When you move to the low-tech solutions the cloth masks and bandanas, or surgical masks these often have very little effect because the particles are so small, and they can pass right through those fibers in a surgical mask or that cloth mask. That doesn't mean that they provide zero protection though.
We did a study in 2016 looking at that it's on an order of 15 to 30 percent of the particles blocked. So a cloth mask is better than nothing, but some people get a false sense of security and think, "Well, I have my bandana on and I shouldn't have to worry about avoiding that construction site across the street, or that big pickup truck spewing diesel exhaust

Because we are now ruled by those who never let a crisis go to waste. Once the fear and panic subside, we may return to soberly evaluating risk/reward and cost/benefit rather than hysterically repeating the mantra "if it saves just one life."
