Granted, this one is tougher, but not that much tougher than a bad strain of influenza. Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't be doing anything. The catastrophe movie, Hollywood-like global mass hysteria was totally over the top and unwarranted, though. We have ways to deal with epidemics that don't involve completely changing the rules, talking about "being at war" and so on.

  Get lost, seriously. We all have the same voice here, and I'm "spreading" whatever the heck I want. It's not "misinformation" just because you happen to have a different appreciation of the facts. I don't have to answer to the nerd police, here or elsewhere.

>>Granted, this one is tougher, but not that much tougher than a bad strain of influenza. Covid is more contagious and more deadly than what we had so far when both factors are considered. In Italy hospitals were pretty much overwhelmed this year due covid with the number of people dying and the sheer number of infections. Did that happen last year or the year before due influenta/flue season as well?
