    Similar to Covid when people said “it’s just like the flu”.

      Which was always so odd to me…like, yeah, maybe you can compare it to the flu, but…had those people ever had the flu? That shit is serious, so calling something “just like the flu” and there’s no vaccine yet? Better lockdown the shit out of everything 😅. It was kind of an argument for measures, not against.
