COVID is much more than “just the flu”

Also, not a single person in medicine or public health with any knowledge of infectious diseases has ever referred to influenza as “just the flu”

The flu is awful and can be deadly and had killed millions.

Get your flu shot.

Block who you want.

Mute who you want.

Follow who you want.

There are multiple mass trauma events affecting all of us simultaneously.

It’s your feed and make it what you want it to be.

Checked Twitter for more Hawaii fire updates this morning: the top results are still largely conspiracy and QAnon swill.

Twitter is now an exponentially less useful tool for disaster updates than it was just a few months ago.
