I'm trying not to be critical of people who just want to be safe. It's not a stupid attitude to take. It just doesn't make sense that we're doing this for this year's flu virus in particular. There are countless reasons you should practice distancing and good hygiene, many of which are probably more advisable than for the flu, and yet all of that is ignored for this virus specifically. It's like people have forgotten that people died before and that lots of things can kill you or make you sick. Everyone is paralysed with fear despite the numbers just not showing it to be out of the norm.

We have ways to combat influenza, not the coronavirus.

Stop making this dumb comparison.
