Personally, I'd be good with either:Lock them in. Better for the majority that way.
- jail time for egregious repeat offenders like this, or
- fine every person attending.

Your expectations are too high.
Mine are quite low, so I'm seldom disappointed.

Yet you don't see masking required every flu season.

We have a new vaccine every year for the flu.
COVID is more transmissible and more deadly than the flu.
The incubation period for COVID is longer than it is for the flu.
It's nuts to me that people are still bringing up "the flu" over one year into this pandemic.

This might be a thing of the past. I think we'll have to see.
In Asia, even before the pandemic, it was common for people to wear masks when they felt sick. That might become the trend here, too.

This needs to be emphasized and reemphasized so as to counter the idiotic nonsense that some parrot that the flu is just as deadly as this variation of covid.
So, where do they get this tripe from? I think we both know.

Why? It apparently doesn't stop the new variety anyway.

That we are following guesswork is a good thing?

Are you even paying attention? It is not as effective at preventing infection as for the Alpha variant, but is still above near 90% effective in preventing hospitalization and death.

Death was already at less than 10 percent.

Working from home is fine if it's your choice... If it's something that's forced on you, it's loss of freedom.
You've misunderstood what the stat means.

They are different viruses but they also have common similarities as well.
That's why the association exists.

Okay, but your point was that they had no lives, which is way overgeneralizing.

I can't count the number of times I've seen someone try to downplay this as "just a flu" since this pandemic started.
It's really getting on my last nerve at this point.
Yup! Same place my nutty friend gets it from.

Yes, absolutely, when that "guesswork" comes from the scientific community. They've been pretty accurate so far.
Guesswork from YouTube videos and internet memes, not so much.

FOUR MILLION people have died.
I'm so tired of people citing these numbers like they don't amount to a LOT of human lives.
