Except the flu doesn’t give you long covid.
It's crazy how short people's memories are. And this site, you would think, tends to have higher than average educated users. And they're still going with the "it's just the flu" shit (completely ignoring that flus can be horrific and deadly).
This current, modern iteration of Homo Sapiens sapiens deserves extinction.
After 4 years of fighting morons who want to kill themselves via risky behaviors and general selfishness, yeah we are done. Let them die.
*and others that are vulnerable. I don't care about the morons, I do care about innocent people.
I think at this point "just a flu" means it's endemic and the hospitals aren't overflowing.
That doesnt make it a flu then and makes your point and this statement sound even worse
What point do you think I made?
It's not literally influenza, but it is a communicable respiratory disease that is endemic at this point and while it can seriously mess you up, the chances are that it's going to have you laid up for ~a week and you'll eventually recover.
Still doest make it the flu
It can give you long flu. https://www.health.com/condition/flu/flu-long-term-effects
