I don’t have the medical qualifications to suggest a comparison between these two different diseases, so I choose to listen to those with the appropriate qualifications. Evidently so do the media.
Anyone who chooses to consider coronavirus the same as the flu and thus ignore the best available advice is certainly free to do so.
