I too was in college during a major flu outbreak. I got very sick. It actually changed a lot of operating procedures at my school and was the start of hand sanitizer being everywhere. It also kicked off the increased recommendation of the flu vaccine for everyone.
The CDC has guidance for colleges and universities on how to handle any number of outbreaks. Colleges are following guidance on how to handle Covid-19. Will that guidance change in the future? Probably. But it hasn’t changed yet.
- sharken 5y agoThat guidance needs to change now, there is little difference to flu and Corona outbreaks due to the vaccines.
- multjoy 5y agoThus spake someone who has never actually had influenza.
- sharken 5y agoHow can you be so sure ?
- multjoy 5y agoBecause people who've had a bad dose of influenza never call it a bit flu.
- sharken 5y agoI'm not sure what the definition of a bad dose is, but i have never taken any flu shots and have managed just fine. So with three vaccine shots for Corona, I'd say that the chances of getting seriously ill with the flu is much higher than Corona. Thus my original point stands, we should start treating Corona the same way we treat the flu, starting now.
