I'm sorry if you misunderstood my post. The type of disease is immaterial. The comparison here is being made with a historic flu pandemic that killed millions of people, not the relatively mild seasonal flu that we see every year. But it could have been measles, tuberculosis, ebola, you name it. The question is why are we locking down now, but not back then when we were faced with another contagious ***illness*** that was even more dangerous? Perhaps we'll never know?

I guess this kind of misunderstanding comes with discussion groups. I do find it fascinating that you focused on the admittedly controversial word "flu" rather than evaluate the rest of the message. All the best to you. Stay healthy.
