      It’s crazy how short people’s memories are. And this site, you would think, tends to have higher than average educated users. And they’re still going with the “it’s just the flu” shit (completely ignoring that flus can be horrific and deadly).

      This current, modern iteration of Homo Sapiens sapiens deserves extinction.

        After 4 years of fighting morons who want to kill themselves via risky behaviors and general selfishness, yeah we are done. Let them die.

          who want to kill themselves

          *and others that are vulnerable. I don’t care about the morons, I do care about innocent people.

        I think at this point “just a flu” means it’s endemic and the hospitals aren’t overflowing.

            What point do you think I made?

            It’s not literally influenza, but it is a communicable respiratory disease that is endemic at this point and while it can seriously mess you up, the chances are that it’s going to have you laid up for ~a week and you’ll eventually recover.
