    Re: The end of the annual flu

    I’m sorry but I am so sick and tired of hearing that SARS Cov-2 is “just the flu”. It 100% is not the flu. Not even the same genetic components as the flu. Does it have some of the same similarities as far as infections go? Sure. But it is NOT the flu. And if more people would actually participate in the mask wearing and social distancing, we’d have had a much better handle on this ages ago - without causing serious harm to worldwide economies. Instead, let’s just go ahead and be selfish, do what we want, have no concern or empathy for our fellow human beings, and prolong this virus as long as we can. Great plan. Sorry. Rant over.

    Rant justified. I'm getting to the point where I feel the need to deploy an educational instrument for these people in the shape of a Louisville Slugger.

    Elsewhere:

    Not wearing a mask is linked to antisocial traits, study finds

    The antisocial profile was linked to higher scores in the personality questions related to “callousness, deceitfulness, hostility, impulsivity, irresponsibility, manipulativeness, and risk-taking”, antisocial traits which, the study notes, “are typically present in people diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)". This group also had lower scores in affective resonance.

    It's true we've had virtually no flu this year.
    They're putting it down to lockdowns and social distancing.

    +1 from me guys

    Knock on effect. Put more police in an area to stop violence but the burglary rate goes down too. Pretty obvious that presence reduces across the board. Same with increased hygiene to less infection in general.

    Probably find Q2 2020 car accidents down on last year too since hardly any cars were on the road.

    It's a great weight loss plan too. My GF lost 2 stone in one week with this.

    The trade off is what money you save on food you spend on bog roll. And it's not very environmentally friendly with all that toilet flushing...

    This should be good.

    So go on, where is it classed as Covid now?

    Phil, colds and flu are not classed as covid. They are different viruses, its like saying lions are now classed as tigers. The symptoms of influenza and the coronaviruses that cause the common cold are similar to covid even though covid seems to have more variety.
