I was merely trying to do my good deed for today. It seemed you were feeling left-out, needing some affirmation from Tsing in your post. So I’ll give you one more scratch on the head and gotta run, sorry. Who's a good boy?
The seasonal flu has an estimated infection fatality rate of 0.025%. COIVD currently has a recent estimated infection fatality rate of 0.6% in the U.S. This figure is 24 times the infection fatality rate -- a far greater figure. The number of deaths from COVID in the U.S. are expected to be greater than the 1918 flu (660,00) and much greater than the polio epidemic. We are already at 275,00+ deaths for COVID in the U.S. and have many months to go before a vaccine is vastly deployed. The only thing that can reduce this death number is following the best public health guidelines.... which is not being done.
We're comparing COVID to Polio. Or rather, you are. If you are doing so, and admit that you shouldn't compare the flu to polio because it isn't as bad, then you are making a subjective call that COVID is as bad as polio, but the flu isn't. Prove the case to back your opinion. Right now, I think its absurd. If you show data to prove otherwise, I'm happy to listen. Again, deaths for whom? 82.4 years and older?

If you’ve had the vaccine, consensus says you’re immune but can you still carry and transmit the disease? https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...oderna-fight-covid-19-but-may-not-stop-spread Vaccines Fight Covid, But Can They Stop the Spread? Trials that show vaccines prevent Covid-19 symptoms haven’t established whether they also prevent transmission of the virus. That’s a problem.

New York State Assembly Introduces Bill Mandating COVID-19 Vaccine New York State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat who represents New York’s 67th Assembly District, quietly introduced a bill on Dec. 4 that would require “COVID-19 vaccine to be administered in accordance with the department of health’s COVID-19 vaccination administration program and mandates vaccination in certain situations.” Every New Yorker, except those medically exempt, are required to receive the vaccine if the state’s vaccination efforts do not achieve “sufficient immunity from COVID-19. https://www.zerohedge.com/political...ly-introduces-bill-mandating-covid-19-vaccine
