Re: Why do you need rules?
My 78yr old uncle had 2 days slight breathlessness
He has type 2 diabetes (in remission) and is overweight (but less than in 2019)
Recovered fully within the week.
Only other person I know who has had it was also of similar age and outcome.
This is not to dismiss those who who have been seriously ill or have died. However, to claim "it will kill you" is overblown
It "could make you seriously unwell and may kill you" is closer to the truth
For my part, I've had "proper" 'flu 5 times in my life. Each time has been a week in bed delerious followed by bilateral pneumonia requiring 2 weeks antibiotics. I have no chronic conditions but my 'flu experience is not the same as others but dont go round telling people 'flu will kill you' (it MAY)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
