Jesus. Even this far into this Covid-19 pandemic, people still claim "it's just the flu"

On a local FB group

I had a reply deleted for calling it “willful ignorance”

The human race is doomed

Why can’t this virus focus on the delusional and the willfully ignorant?

4. Trouble is, flu infected an estimated 39,000,000

If this spreads as much as the flu, 20% of that would be beyond horrific

We get that

These willfully ignorant, self-centered Covidiots don’t. And they don’t care. They just don’t

3. I was asked did I know that 70,000 die from the flu every year

I replied that YES, I am aware of this. That is why there is a VACCINE for it!

The stupid shall remain stupid until it hits them in one of two places -- their pockets or their dumb asses!

14. I am well aware of what this is

It is Nature giving you a taste of its own medicine after years of abuse and torturing innocent animals.

It is of zoomorphic origin but people this stupid are too stupid to know or care what the reality of it is!

I'm so DONE with so many out there.

At this point, because of my "hysteria", much of which has been posted here going way back to the beginning, well I tried, I tried like hell to warn others. Well, my hysteria has become true, there is no treatment much less a cure or a vaccine and until there is, people will continue to DIE en mass as we are now witnessing.

So sad.

As for those that hate the reality of this, well I hate it too but I am not trying to say for a second that it is just the "flu".

It is a bitch gone mad and it is mighty damn angry!

12. Without that vaccine, it'd be a whole lot more...

As much as some folks like to holler about the "ineffectiveness" of the flu vaccine, even at a 50% effectiveness rate that's a whole lot of prevention.

Not only is there no vaccine against Covid-19, there is no treatment, dammit! It spreads with lightning speed, and not only throws ya' under the bus, but the steamroller then awaits.

Some folks are just too stupid to even buy a clue. The rest just don't give a fuck, 'cause it hurts too damn much to think.

what's that as compared to temporarily changing our way of life? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, as I'm sure lots of conservative free market heroes have said. Oh wait, no that's more in line with communism.... OH NOOOOOOOOOO.

That's not the first time I've heard of that very thing happening, either.
