Hi all.

Can someone please explain to this ignoramus why Covid19 is being treated differently to the seasonal 'flu? As I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong), it's no worse. So why the drastic measures for one disease and not the other? Why aren't people with 'flu asked to self-isolate? Why don't countries shut down for 'flu?

I've read that Covid19 can be contained but the seasonal 'flu can't. Why?

Genuine question - I'm evidently missing something; I just can't see what it is and the University of Google isn't helping.

Cheers.

If the question is genuine rather than trolling. The answer is quite simple . It is not like flu it is a lot more dangerous and there is no immunity to it within the community unlike flu.

Should I really be travelling in and out of London every day on packed trains to go work ? Seems absurd right now.

I’m working at home now, any travelling that needs to be done can be done on bike/car. Hope I’m overreacting but the amount of coughing and spluttering on the tube last week, which happens all the time anyway, didn’t fill me with confidence
 
Trump's a c--- but at least he's doing something serious about it.
All countries should do it.
Containment is the answer.
