Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

No flu is not a virus. Flu is an unpleasant respiratory disease that can make people very ill. These symptoms are the response and reaction that people get what they are infected with a specific type of virus. The name of the virus is not flu

Yep wiped out 30,000 in 2017 alone didn’t it? Didn’t even make news

Re: Coronavirus update

So 'flu' as most people know it as is obviously called some other scientific name which i don't know and most of the population don't know
But what ever the correct name for 'flu'
Is it still a virus,

What are you babbling on about?

We have a number of vaccines against the flu. The flu is caused by a virus. It has a number of strains. We vaccinate against the strain that was most prevalent in the Southern Hemisphere during their winter. A flu vaccine doesn't offer 100% protection against the flu, but it offers a lot more protection than not having a vaccine at all.

Wrong.....Flu is the body's reaction to being infected with a specific virus. If there was no reaction the person wouldn't get ill.
The virus causes the body to react in a way that gives the symptoms we call flu, but the virus itself is not flu

I'll try to give a similar example. Some people get hayfever usually caused by grass pollen. Grass pollen is not hay fever, but for sufferers breathing pollen to your nostrils in even a small amount can cause a lot of unpleasant symptoms, runny nose , cough etc. Its the body's reaction to pollen, but the pollen itself is not hay fever but it causes hay fever

We do, it would no doubt take more if we didn’t. Like it did in 2017 when it needed a tweak I believe

Re: Coronavirus update

So the latest figures of people who have sadly passed away due to covid 19 is 46,555 with no vaccine is a reason to lock us down?
When the flu with a vaccine sadly kills similar amount of people, but like got posted earlier before does not get reported.

After so many months of this do you genuinely not understand that the reason the figures are similar is because we've been locked down for so much of the year and if we hadn't been then the Covid numbers would be huge?

Re: Coronavirus update

Oh no, not the flu thing again.

Covid is much more contagious. It's killed more people so far than a year with flu, and that's with practically the entire world taking extreme measures.

It doesn't mean I'm in favour of full lockdowns; that's a sign that the pandemic has been badly handled.

I know of two friends who have had the death certificate of loved ones changed because they didn't die of covid 19.
How many more?

Does it? How many died from flu last year?

Re: Coronavirus update

What I am saying is the figures are similar without a so called vaccine.
