Are we going to start counting flu now? lol
I would imagine the flu will be way down this year, what with all the hand washing, etc.
who said anything about counting?
flu and other illness symptoms will hurt our schools and businesses as people will be vigilant and cautious and have to quarantine and wait for test results, whenever the get some sniffles, aches, or coughs.
many people and a lot of children will get the Flu like normal and have to be hospitalized and some will die like every year. Obviously more so for children unfortunately, as opposed to covid's effects on children
that poses a problem if the Virus does continue to increase in northern states especially as the weather gets colder, as we will get the dreaded hospital beds nearing shortages and death panel scare tactics from the media again. I'd like a somewhat normal Christmas so let's fend that shit off.
we've not really seen Covid in peak flu season. I'd imagine the prognosis of someone getting Covid AND something like Flu or strep will make for a more grim prognosis.
we for sure should see less Flu this year as I'd expect vaccinations to increase (let's hope this year has a good guestimate on strains) more hand washing, more masks, more social distance ect.
Georgia shutting down some schools in August does not bode well for American's children's development this year
