Re: @J.G.Harston
Well I have to admit I do fear that in these times of heightened sensitivity around infection, the thought of catching the flu will cause anxiety in many. If not just because it can be caught in a similar way to covid so if you're exposed to one you're exposed to the other and that with reduced exposure to the flu virus fewer will develop a natural immunity this year.
As for our perception of risk, we are poor at appreciating low frequency risks, amplified by medium severity or a wide range of severities. You just have to look at the AIDS epidemic to see how stupid we are.
