What’s that got to do with my post? The flu season places extra pressure on the hospitals - I’m not comparing the two viruses. Don’t get so triggered.

What’s that got to do with my post? The flu season places extra pressure on the hospitals - I’m not comparing the two viruses. Don’t get so triggered.
- greedo 5y agoNot triggered at all, except by the continued conflation of COVID with influenza. You specifically mentioned: "Where was your haughty indignation during the last bad flu season?" Show me a flu season that has exerted the same amount of pressure on hospitals and healthcare workers.
- switch007 5y agoHow are you measuring it? What metric would you like to compare? My comment does not conflate the two. You’re reaching. Every winter (flu season) exerts extra pressure. It doesn’t take much to push hospitals over the edge.
- octaonalocto 5y agoOne metric that's interesting: what the market is offering for temporary contracts for traveling nurses. Past flu seasons haven't seen contracts of $10k+ per WEEK for ICU nurses.
