re: So all the new science is pointing out COVID isn't as bad as the normal Flu

If you dont think staying in your house and avoiding interactions with anyone with a week plus doesn’t lower incidence of infection, I don’t know what to say.

Obviously further discussion is pointless

Yea but thats not what’s happening. No one is actually staying in there home with 0 outside contact for 2 weeks. People still go the the store, get gas, get mail, go get food. Social distancing only delays when some people get infected. It doesnt reduce the severity or total # of infected. Just slows the rate. You dont gain immunity by being inside lmao.

Flu vaccines reduce ICU admissions for those vaccinated by ~60%, decreases avg hospitalization stay by 4 days. CDC estimates it prevented more than 6 million infections. Social distancing effect on rate of infected needing ICU/hospitalized/infected = little to none. Social distancing was always only to ‘flatten the curve’, the area under the curve is the same, just spread out. If you dont understand that, read it again, otherwise, further discussion is obviously pointless because you think pretending to quarantine legitimately mitigates severity of COVID, more than vaccines which actually mitigate flu severity.
