With all our Covid related mitigation, I can't imagine there being much flu going around.

It is true that the drug industry OWNS the Democratic Party. Of course Democrats will ORDER Americans to give money to drug companies - like it or not.

Well its not so much about the flu as it is getting people used to the idea of the government removing more of your rights.

Whats next, mandating people to run on a treadmill daily?

I feel so sorry for the small businesses that have gone bankrupt, or are barely keeping their heads above water.
The anti-Trumpers don't seem to have the same empathy for them as I do. IMO, they cripple them, they believe they cripple Trump....who cares about the consequences?

Hopefully, their kind of thinking comes back to bite them in their self-serving behinds on election day.

I am 100% confident that America had had enough of leftism. Even lefties know it as demonatrated by their desperate attempt to steal the election via mail in. Just look at how they buzz around the mail in voter fraud posts like I just kicked their hive over the fence. They know they can't win in a fair lawful election. If anyone here thinks America is going to vote for the people who support the violence below they are absolutely nuts.

Don't have quite the whole store, that article is behind a pay wall. Is it public school K-12?

They said that on NPR today, in the southern hemisphere, all the stuff people are doing is really tamping down on the flu.

Good.

Should we ban alcohol then?

Is alcohol contagious?

Sure because those closures are only happening in red states and no democratic governors shut down businesses completely

No its addictive and kills a great many people. I thought we wanted to save lives? No?

Do you think taxing fat people would also save lives?

false equivalency, try again

I should have qualified by saying...
I live in a blue state and can only speak for what is happening in the state of CA. under Democrat Newsom's regime.

Not yours, though. If you're not contagious, I don't care what you do to yourself.

Can you relate to this, anecdotally? Me, my wife, my kids, have had zero sickness this year, save for some bug in very early FEB. That's no flu, no colds, no coughs, no sore throats, NOTHING. That, has never happened before. We never were quarantined before. I do not believe it is a coincidence.

We can attest to that. We had a bug in Feb, nothing since...knock on some wood if you wish.

My post mortem on the situation this far is the democratic governors were too aggressive with the shutdowns and red states governors were to slack. If they had both done the shutdowns more targeted to where the big outbreaks were it would have been less partisan and acrimonious. My governor shut down the whole state when the virus was concentrated in three areas when there was zero logical reason to shut down anything but those area. And just as capriciously, he reopened the whole with a mask mandate because those 3 areas were trending down and then the cases started spreading everywhere. He should have left the bulk of the state open and only kept those areas shutdown longer. When I say masks don't work, conditions on the ground show that it was only when we went from social distancing to "just wear a mask" that poop hit the fan.

I had a nasty upper respiratory thing in January and Feb, and then Covid in June.

But no flu...
