    Not really. People self diagnose with the flu while people with Corona are apt to self diagnose with the flu or a cold but not with Corona.

    What Mama says you got you got, and if there's no money or time for doctoring, that's the way it is.

    It's taking out people with a weak immune system just like the flu. Once there's an antibiotic for it, you won't be able to push your percentages out and act like CV is a global killer.

    Why, because of the black on black crime that goes unreported?

    Won't be no antibiotic. Immunization is coming sometime.:)

    But since CV isn't so bad, the money won't be as good a profit on it as they thought two weeks ago.

    Indeed. And just as the black on black crime is overlooked to focus on the white on black crime, the statistics you provided will be overlooked.

    Have you ever had a doctor take a test sample for flu? I haven't. Doc proclaims you got flu and that means you got flu.

    antibiotics don't work on viruses. And judging by the uptake of the seasonal flu vaccine most people won't bother with any Coronavirus vaccine either

    Actually it will be the other way around. Everyone just sneezing think that they may have the coronavirus given all the publicity.

    Could be but statistics thus far would not reflect that.

    Unless you have preexisting conditions or just don't like being sick.

    Don't you despair about the lack of basic knowledge that some people have on infectious diseases? Wouldn't you think that ANYONE should know that antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not viruses? That's actual one question I haven't seen answered yet about Covid-19: Is it a secondary bacterial infection that kills the host? Or is it purely the viral load, leading to organ failure?

    In any case, it is astounding that some Trump fans on here can state with the greatest conviction that the virus outbreak is nothing to worry about, when they don't know a thing about how vaccinations, antivirals and antibiotics work. Puzzling....

    It's been all good publicity. There's nothing in the Gulf. And I'm already more than ready for another Katrina. I'll use the masks for mowing.

    Sorry, but don't understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that those with preexisting conditions will take the vaccine. Are you saying that those who don't like being sick will take the vaccine?

    Apparently you do understand what I'm saying. Vaccine use for Corona will likely parallel vaccination for the flu.

    Yes, so do you want to take that bet or not?

    They can probably put them together in one syringe when they got the formula.

    So why don't you explain why most people don't take the flu vaccine?

    That would logically apply both ways, right?
