I texted my very good friend, a microbiologist and professor/researcher in immunology. He knows his shite. I texted and asked him if he had any retort to those who think the Covid—19 crisis is overblown and not any more serious than the flu. His verbatim response:
“Yeah, tell them they’re a fricking idiot”
He’s a serious straight shooter, not at all political, and as far from a “sky screamer” as you can get. Sorry, I just had to take the pulse of someone I know personally and trust.

Never said it was overblown

Said the reporting was overblown.

See the difference.

Do people who say it's just the flu still exist? Best I can tell, tons of the loudest people saying that nonsense quietly shifted on that point about 10 days or so ago.

I texted a very good friend of mine. While not a microbiologist or anything, he would have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night if only there was one open.

His verbatim response:

"Tell that guy to go frick himself."

I’ve had doctors say the opposite.

They are straight shooters too.

Is this supposed to make people less weary about their economic situation? I think most people understand the illness is serious, but its worth discussing whether the economic impact is even worse.

It's about time somebody expressed this opinion.

It’s still implied on this board that Covid is not that serious of a threat, and you know it.
