1. Yeah, the "it's no worse than the flu" was a line for February. After March/April's toll on New England, it's an asinine thing to keep saying. 2. Honestl

1. Yeah, the "it's no worse than the flu" was a line for February. After March/April's toll on New England, it's an asinine thing to keep saying.
2. Honestly though, we really should have been taking the seasonal flu more seriously. A cousin of mine, mother of three young children, died from the flu in 2018 after being put into a medically induced coma. 30k-60k people in the US each year is a helluva lot to keep losing, and while we can't lock down to the degree we are now on a regular basis, we're also seeing that some of our behaviors are more risky than others. What if there are relatively simple changes we could be making to our lives that would slow and stop the spread of the seasonal flu?
