Because COVID is insanely contagious. The non-specific measures we took (social distancing, masking, &c) absolutely crushed the flu, but only maintained partial control over COVID spread pre-vaccine.
- nostromo123 4y agoI don't know about "insanely contagious". In my small company we are cca 25 people and we have very cramped quarters. However, it has been more than once that some colleagues have had covid but nobody else was infected, despite being in meetings with the sick guys. You can get lucky, but not this lucky with something that's really contagious.
- taeric 4y agoI have had a hard time squaring how contagious it is by external evidence, with how non contagious it is within family units. I finally started seeing families where it would hit everyone in the family, but there are tons of examples of it not spreading to everyone. Which is practically unheard of for this style of virus. This is particularly pronounced when it comes to kid sicknesses. For the most part, you can just ask if other kids are getting sick to know if your is about to. Covid? We literally carpooled with families and did not catch it from them. Just, how?
