In case anyone is interested measles is much more contagious than Coronavirus, which appears to be nothing more than viral pneumonia. Your immune system is either compromised or it’s not. Carry on
Oh do dazzle us with your vast knowledge of the coronavirus inner workings and how it's going to end civilization as we know it. ChucklzI cannot find the words to express how inaccurate, stupid and irrational your argument is. But you are from OU. Not your fault....
Flu vaccine has # needed to treat of 71. That is, it takes 71 vaccinations to prevent 1 case of clinical flu. Death rate of .1%, so it takes 71,000 vaccinations to prevent 1 death. Check the Cochrane Collaboration to confirm. Why the Brits don't do flu vaccine.Measles contagion factor is R10, Covid 19 is probably going to end up between R2-R3 so much less contagious however there is no vaccine. That's probably a year away. As far as severity we don't know. I was thinking it was going to have the same effects as the flu. Numbers aren't dropping as more people are being tested but its still early. I don't think it will be as high as 3% but it might end up being more serious than the flu.
Am I the only one on here who doesn’t get the flu vaccine? About 10 years ago I got talked into getting the flu vaccine and I’ll be dammed if I didn’t get sick with flu symptoms the day I got the vaccine. I don’t recall getting the flu since. I get a sinus infection every year from cedar pollen etc. but that’s about itFlu vaccine has # needed to treat of 71. That is, it takes 71 vaccinations to prevent 1 case of clinical flu.

In the US there are more dead than have recovered. Not very flu like. Who's gonna fix this for all our convenience oriented people?

That's a very small sample size. Most every other nation has a much higher recovery rate than death rate.
This thing sucks. The flu sucks. But the freak out mode some people are entering is ridiculous.
I definitely recommend getting the flu shot if you are elderly, very young and/or if you are immune compromised. Those are the people at very high risk of dying due to complications. If you are a healthy older youth or adult with no asthma or any airway issues, then it is just a choice. While we are on topic, I would also recommend getting the shingles vaccine if >50yo and pneumococcal vaccine if >65.Am I the only one on here who doesn’t get the flu vaccine?

I hate cedar. As a kid, I never had any issues. Now, my face, eyes, and throat burn for 6 months out of the year. I can't decide which is worse the 6 month summer or 6 month cedar pollen season.
You no longer have to go to the doctor to get Flonase or Nasacort. It is over the counter.Cedar pollen sucks so freaking bad. From the sound of it, I may not be as bad off as you, but it still kicks my ass from mid Feb to mid May
You sure you’re not allergic to oak pollen instead? The cedar pollen in my neck of the woods is already passed but oak pollen is kicking off. You may allergic to both?Cedar pollen sucks so freaking bad. From the sound of it, I may not be as bad off as you, but it still kicks my ass from mid Feb to mid May

Shingles and pneumococcal vaccines are efficacious. I have gotten both. Annual flu doesn't seem worth it to me.I definitely recommend getting the flu shot if you are elderly, very young and/or if you are immune compromised.

I had heard that John Travolta was hospitalized with the coronavirus, Saturday night. But, they later learned it was only a fever. He did have some chills that were multiplying...
