I've brought this up a few times and it's usually met with something along the lines of "it's not the flu!"or they question the timing/spread.
No. That’s not what I’m thinking of. Again, I’m thinking about the CDC guidelines given initially. Masks won’t help you. Just wash your hands and disinfect surfaces regularly, and leave the masks for the healthcare workers. It was on the CDC website. Fouci repeated it in the daily briefings. Initially they told us that they believed that the virus was not transmitted easily through the air.Quick googling - is this what you're thinking of? The publication of studies about how long it lasts on surfaces?

I'm still not sure the CDC has indicated the virus can travel 15 miles in the open air to infect someone.
Kinda like with the "every death a COVID death" spinification, the CDC is not the root of all evil in this. It is acting like a clearinghouse of information, from what I can tell. Their role (as superfluous as it may be) is to: a) try to protect Trump's statements, b) publicize the results of testing done by other entities.
As I go through more of what the CDC does on its own... I wonder more and more what their mission is. Or was.
The .gov estimated mortality of COVID is worse than the .gov estimated mortality of the flu.
I agree in part. I don’t think it’s valid to say we should stop comparing it to the flu. For example, when was the last time the flu caused NYC to need the government to build emergency ICU space? There are some similarities and there are some differences. Talking about those can be informative. But it is quite valid to ask that people stop comparing it in ways that supports a one-sided viewpoint. Like, saying it’s just the flu to make it sound less impactful than it actually is. And of course there are people who like to take on-sided bits of information to say
I should be able to shoot you if you’re not wearing a mask! it’s literally terrorism not to wear a mask!!She said if someone approaches her without a mask, she will shoot them in self defense. Then went on some rant about everyone not wearing a mask are bio-Terrorists and are intentionally inflicting disease on people.

You know, because the only possible reason for someone not to wear a mask is that they are trying to infect people.
I think yer gonna have to click Bug’s link above. She apparently deleted her Twitter account. That’s where I was gonna copy the photo from.
