> there were far too many people who denied it was anything more serious than the flu and didn't take any precautions. Well apparently quite a number of people must have taken precautions, because that's the explanation for why the flu has basically disappeared off the face of the earth.

The flu is far less contagious than COVID. Even small measures affect the numbers.

    And more hand washing, and more distancing, etc. Because, like I said, the flu is far less contagious.
