What a stupid thing to say.
Are you going to go and tell all the cancer patients who have been diagnosed too late because lockdown stopped them getting diagnosed early enough to save them?

so even with all the measures in place it didtn save this poor girl?

You missed the point Chazz. Point is it isn't 'just flu'.

They’re both respiratory illnesses.
Young people can die from flu too. It’s rare just like it’s rare from covid.

For heaven's sake Chazz you'd argue black is white if you wanted. Of course flu and covid are both respiratory illnesses, just like asthma, lung cancer, etc. But flu and covid are caused by different viruses so for someone to claim covid is 'just flu' is plain wrong. And for what it's worth I think the claim belittles the suffering many people have experienced from covid, including that young girl and her family and friends.

End of.

Fair point, but nobody on here is playing cancer down and saying its just another disease.

Reading this thread, and the things people can pick up at Fair makes me realise that it's nothing like I remember it as kid. All we got was a goldfish and some Brandy Snap. Kids don't know they're born these days.

Won a goldfish at Hull Fair around '73/74.

Called it Waggy.

It did alright for a year or two, then my Auntie, Uncle and cousin came to stay and brought their cat with them.


We all went out for the day leaving Waggy and cat alone in the house.


You can guess the outcome...






True story.

Well actually it is “just” another disease.
And maybe in life it is better to play things down and get on and live your life.

Maybe in your life, that's entirely up to you. Personally, I prefer to take things like viruses seriously, especially ones that can cause long term health effects, multiple complications and can kill a lot easier than flu can.

I don't lose anything by being careful; I have two beautiful children and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, they don't want a Dad that can't run or has to keep going to hospital or whatever. To me, playing down something serious is just selfish denial, you're turning your back on the problem to help yourself, as opposed to the others around you who are well aware of the dangers of such a disease.

Don't tell me. The cat fell into the bowl and drowned.

Our kid won one in about 2008. It lived for ten years and it was ****ing massive by the end.

You’re now moving a long way from the initial point about COVID just being the same as flu, which it self evidently isn’t.
