You are correct that there are simply too many unknowns and too many doctors can't come to a consensus. And while I get your point, I also don't think it matter. I don't care if most people are asymptomatic, or if most people recover. I care that over half a million people have died, and many say we'll be stuck like this for years. Which means many more will die. Throw in those who will die from other problems directly caused by covid (e.g. no money to buy food or medicine, we're talking about a major tragedy.
Best to get everything locked down to try to get this under control as soon as possible and eliminate the problem. Unless you are okay with those numbers.
Hi DRM - I'm not trying to be argumentative. It's just a fact, and one that's very easy to backup. I'm sure you could have easily verified yourself with Google before jumping down my throat to attack me. Happy to debate as long as we keep it civil and respectful. All opinions are welcome here.
To answer your question, here is a CNN article stating that only 52% of Americans PLAN to get a flu shot. Obviously many never do. I for one always plan to, but have only gotten around to it once or twice in my life:
People still die from the flue because the majority of people don't bother taking it. I wonder once they do have a vaccine for COVID, how many will refuse to take it?
Where on earth are you seeing statistics saying that it is no worse than the flu? And we have a vaccine for the flu! It could be years before we have one for Covid. That's the scary part.
